Hiring Minimums
What are current hiring mins you are hearing from recruiters? 1,000 TPIC? 1,000 turbine? 2,500 TT? in the past 12 months the hiring market has adjusted substantially, i'm curious what it takes to get a call from United in today's market.

Mins: 1,000 hrs fixed wing turbine
Desired: 6,000-8,000 TT, 1600 hrs PIC (This is obviously a significant increase from the 2,500 TT that seems to have been reality until earlier this year.)
No clue if this is genuine or not...

This info is worth about as much as you paid for it, but there's a summary getting passed around various UA pilot chat groups that basically says

The minimums have never changed. The minimum qualifications are 1500 hours, full ATP, english proficiency and a 1st class medical. The desired hours have gone up but that should have zero bearing on whether you apply or not. 1,500 hours in the space shuttle will probably be enough. 2 DUI's and 5 checkride busts probably will require more hours to make up for it. Nobody knows the secret formula. Apply, boost your resume, update your apps and hope for the best.

I also heard a rumor that TK is having an easier time with new hires during training. Correlation and Causation, and all that.

I recently heard that the average new hire is in the 4000-6000 range, which obviously means there’s a lot of variables involved (mil, degree, whatever).

Riddle Rats that were on the ball in 2021 should be about 3500TT, about 1000 TPIC and about 26 now.
As for the original question ... the reason they stopped hiring pilots with 1000 121 PIC was that they ran out. The store has been restocked.
