I had over 4000 PIC T. I was hired. Everyone in my class was at the regionals for over 8 years. They all had well over 3000 pic turbine as well. They mentioned in class that US Air wants to see you in training within the last 5 years to ensure you can be trained. They want to see that the old dog can be taught new tricks. It isn't a requirement.. It is another box that gets checked in the sorting pile. It's like having an internal rec. I know a bunch of people with one. I also know a bunch of people without 1. I talked with cp. 3000 applied, 800 meet the preferred mins. Patience is a virtue...

3 weeks in my case. It's currently taking about 2 months to get thru indoc, ground and sim. There is a ton of training going on right now with the 73s going and the new hires, perhaps that will back up slightly and make the process take a little longer.

Hey dude I'm a reserve baby/ former regional captain. I've been at airways about two years. Who gets called is some kind of point based system. Biggest deal for you, near as I can tell, apply in every hiring window, keep flying and join obap/wia if that's something you can handle.
