- Lots of flying out of radar coverage / outside of tower hours into CTAFs with high amounts of local traffic.
- More involved go arounds and V1 cuts, harder MVs as a result, even though that's subjective.

Add in the lack of operational support regional Captains get vs mainline counterparts….

I went to RTAG in October
2,600 TT
1,100 121 turbine SIC
1,500 CFII
Prior mil (non aviation MOS)
Bachelors degree

When I handed the recuriter my resume, before I could even open my mouth to introduce myself, she looked right at my flight time and said that I am not looking competitive, and then told me that right now, competitive hiring minimums are 4,000 to 6,000 total time. I get that I missed the big regional FO hiring wave of last year. But I wish I would have at least been giving a chance to market myself at RTAG before being shut down .005 seconds into the job fair.

Interesting. One of our CPO updates a few months ago said that the competitive times right now are 6,000-8,000TT and 1,600 TPIC. I believe that figure was also from JR.

I assume that once we start getting airplanes again and hiring picks up, the mins may go down again. After they get through the backlog of highly qualified candidates. When that will be, who knows!

What I’m hearing is you’d rather have someone blow smoke up your rear side than hear the truth. Personally I’d rather be told where the gate is and aim for that than be told something else. Bottom line is keep your apps updated and you’ll get the call eventually. The recruiters are the gate keepers, if one told you the truth be happy about that and also keep working on it….

With regionals screaming for CAs, this would seem an easy and economical resume' to buff and polish.

I took my enitre day to travel to Dallas specifically to speak with a United recruiter. I would have rathered recieve the full interaction as they advertised (they sent out an email with instructions on how to prepare for the event), rather than be shot down within a second of showing up.

Recruiters have told people they weren't competitive in the past and they got interview invited a couple months later. However that hiring environment was different. Reading between the lines, she told you to upgrade. 1600 TPIC will put you right where they want you.

And the recruiter had hundreds of people to talk to and probably needed to focus more on people who were actually currently competitive. Expect to take many more days off in pursuit of your dream job. Take what he/she told you and apply it. Keep your apps up to date and keep your record clean. It'll happen.

That’s part of the game…. You aren’t competitive at the moment. What more could you have expected? Delta and AA would have did the same thing as well. In a round about way, they told you that what you needed to do.

Take the first upgrade and build that T-PIC time and keep the apps updated. Continue the job fair hustle that many did before the crazy post-Covid hiring boom.
