I don't understand, I'm only 35 and have just surpassed 8,000hrs. I'd imagine the majority of guys looking probably have that much time at least

I completely agree with you, and I'm in the same boat. It's nothing but frustrating. However, like I said, I heard this directly from the VP.
You fly airplanes painted in their colors for 10 years, doing everything asked of you, and now you're told you have too many hours. Meanwhile, your FO gets hired. What a crock.

That's in direct conflict with what BK said at WAI. He specifically stated that there is no discrimination of guys with more hours. He said it's all a point system and if you have enough you get the Hogan email. He also stated you do not lose points for having more hours you just stop gaining points and max out. ALL briefers that I saw stated that your hours are a very small portion of your app.

Well, good!! I hope that is how they are doing it. At OBAP Brian Quigly drew a graph on my resume showing me a bell curve of the pilots they are hiring and who they want. The top of that curve was 5500 hours.

I agree with this. And in addition, while a candidate may not score more points for more total hours once the threshold is reached, I would imagine they would score more points for more PIC Jet Time (as an example). In my case, I'm approaching 8,000 total, however my PIC Jet Time is under 2,000. Maybe the system gives points to those who have >2,000 PIC Jet. Who really knows. What I really want is more PIC Jet (not total time), but obviously the only way for my PIC Jet to go up, is for my total time to also go up.
