You know as well as anyone that that's just not true. Perhaps at one time, those few may have been able to upgrade, but over time, either their skills, or their determination, or both deteriorated to a point where some are just incapable of upgrading. And, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as they do their current job appropriately and professionally.

There are dozens (or more) of guys here with only turboprop time; some military, some civilian. I know several personally, from a previous life, who had no jet time and are here today. I don't know what that means for the current qualifications they are hiring right now, but I would say it's worth your time to apply.

I know several people that were hired there with only turbo-prop time, but that was before they started letting the computer choose who gets called for an interview.
At a job fair a few years ago, I was told by HR that I needed jet time?

Thanks for the response.
I actually talked with him at the WAI job fair a few years ago, and he mentioned that. He said "turbo-prop time is fine with me, but I don't choose who gets a call, that's up to the computer."
I'm hoping that might change with all the hiring that's happening now. I've heard that the 1000 PIC requirement is gone, maybe the jet time requirement will change as well?
Thanks

You've all been exceedingly helpful and true through the years... Chances are we've rode each other's jumpseats and gouged each other's information for a long while. At the risk of sounding repetitive, I just wanted to save a little time and put some of your most recent advice...
I'm using the recommended TEXTs, but...
Do any of you recommend airlinetechprep (readysettakeoff.com) for study of the technical portion of the Day 1 Exams? Without being a member it seems they might have the right idea with the study guides and flashcards... If it helps at all, there is no expense (within reason) that I'm concerned about to prepare accordingly.
Is Luminosity the only/best way to prepare for the Cognitive Portion?

The guy who runs it posts on this board, and is on our seniority list.
Google it.
They didn't exist when I interviewed, but there a lots of folks on this board, and on our seniority list, that highly recommend them.
Good luck.
