Two Part 121 type ratings (I assume you have at least two) to go along with that 600 TPIC will help, may make you competitive against a regional guy with one type and 1000 TPIC. Also if you have no part 121 training failures, a degree, vol work, and all that other jazz. The type of stuff that actually used to matter on applications during pre-COVID hiring.

With our renewed focus on “keeping the main thing the main thing”, removing NPS modules from PPD, and removing nonsensical HR modules from cqdl, perhaps we can dispense with the volunteer work, and other idiotic areas of focus that have distracted the people in hiring for far too long. Time for them to focus on hiring, ya know, pilots and stop worrying about hiring marketing marionettes.

you’re in good shape. There are a lot of people in the CJO pool with like 2500 TT and 0tpic. United (any legacy) would be incredibly lucky to have ya

Going to a job fair would probably help. A lot.

I was just out at TK. They said these last couple of months, the hiring flt times have gone up dramitcally. 8-10k. Cause is, mainly hiring Spirit and Frontier pilots, many Capts.

For whatever it is worth, I have the absolute minimums (right at 1500.2 hours). I received a CJO in April. I consider myself to be incredibly lucky and don't truly understand why I was extended an offer. I almost didn't even apply because I thought there would be no way they would even consider me (when I applied, I didn't even have my ATP). Hope this provides some encouragement.

I assume you started at a regional at 1,000 hours and/or have a bit of jet time? By chance are you a POC?
