I specifically asked a United recruiter about that at an ALPA meet-and-greet and was assured that updating every 6 months wasn't necessary if you were young enough for the 12 month requirement. The person I spoke wasn't 100% sure at first but researched it and called me after the event to follow up. Delta invited me to interview 11 months after my medical date. YMMV.

I beg to differ. His numbers are just fine and pretty typical for a military background. Lots of ex-mil pilots getting hired with those numbers or less. Building time at a regional will just increase his odds of getting hired even though the pay sucks and is a slap in the face to anyone who meets ATP minimums.

For a 20 year mil guy they are low. I was a 10 year mil guy with those stats and was told by recruiters they are low. Look at the averages delta posts and you will see they are below average. For a fighter guy they are great but for a heavy guy they are low comparatively speaking.

All I can say is on the ual side, avg is still about 8000 hours . Military transport is over 5000. Obviously fighters is much lower.

That's exactly what I stated, below the Delta publicized average. Recruiters at both, and BK at UAL said they were also looking for good progression. 2800 hours of heavy AF time is what you should get in your first 2 assignments. They know what a 20 year guy would have as a heavy guy on average and will question why it's low. Plenty of good explanations but it will raise questions.

I'm mentoring a guy with almost the exact SAME TT and TPIC. Hired.
We call guys with these resumes the 'rock stars' because of their entire resume. His in the ballpark. As a 20 yr USAF his resume should (?) show additional qualifications.
Getting 121 qual'd is a good mark on his resume. He'll be a better candidate, and new hire, because he's expanding his professional resume and experience before he lands at, hopefully, #1.
