This is great information. I'm in the hiring pool right now and hoping for a class date soon. Its good to hear that MSP is going junior enough for newhires to hold.

I was wondering... do you have to be 23 to apply or just 23 when they hold your class? I'll be turning 23 in a few months, but was wondering if I could go ahead and apply.

I'm not sure. They never mentioned any numbers to me.

I heard that a couple of guys that interviewed had less then the 1500 when they applied knowing that they would have the time when they interviewed, but I guess they went back through their logbooks they saw that and showed them the door. But that was just flight time and not age.

yea they just want u to have atp mins from what i was told. Its in the contract that we get our ATP and PIC type in the 170/190. A few pilots slipped through the cracks some how with out having min time and they wound up only getting a commercial sic in the aircraft. Alot of drama... but they will have PIC ATP on next recurrent.

To make it really accurate, EmbFly, there would need to be razor blades hidden inside that carrot....

Email the guy at wasinc.aero and see if Grand China Express would take you as an FO on the E190 with your exp on the 175...never hurts to ask...

There are some other E175 gigs overseas, but you gotta look...flynas in Saudi...if you can handle a dry country for a bit...Storm Aviation recruits for them...google it...

do not go to air china express. read some pretty nasty emails from pilots who have gone over there for the interview and.....well.......its China, how do you think it is over there?
