I think they're just not hiring people from the streets right now. Try Skywest or Pinnacle, they like to hire those with over 2000 hours. With your hours you probably would have no trouble finding a corporate job.

My class had guys with times ranging from 500TT to 5000TT. Skywest does historically hire the higher time guys but Pinnacle loves low time and PFT guys because they don't know any better and they don't have many options when they see how crappy Pinnacle is. The only reason Pinnacle likes high time guys is because their FOs have trouble sticking around long enough to upgrade and they need bodies in the CA seat. I do have to agree with BURflyer though, go find yourself a cushy corporate job.

I'm not saying you can be a comerical pilot captain. All I'm saying is you can get your captain check can count for your atp ride. Then you will be an atp. You don't have to be an atp until after you upgrade so its not a requirement to upgrade. But if you work for a company that you have to have 4000 total time to upgrade its almost as if you would have to work to not meet atp mins. Ya'll need to calm down. Maybe I missunderstood someone elses post but there is no need to get all huffy.
