TPIC Preferred
I've noticed that the 1,000 TPIC qualification changed from required to preferred about a year ago. Has anyone gotten a call without it? I've been in the left seat of an A320 for a couple years now but still have less than 300 (don't get used much on reserve). I'm just curious if my chances are 0 or if a handful have been hired without it? Thanks for any info.

White, male and less than 1000 tpic you have no chance. It’s listed “preferred” to give wiggle room for targeted demographics. I’m in no way disparaging targeted demographics, but the reality is what it is.

If anything... that ‘could be’ a DETRIMENT to your application. If you’re Part 121, they’re gonna ask you why you’ve flown less than 12 hours a month (assuming you’ve been in the left set for 2 years).

I had dinner with a white male new hire about 4 months ago who had just cracked the 1000 hour requirement before getting hired. He did have at least one internal and international time.

I was averaging 12 hours or less a month reserve here.... until this unofficial open time ban. Same equipment as you.

Yeah but I know someone who is going to drive HR nuts when you crack 1K TPIC.
