Regional Hiring Mins
I keep hearing rumors about guys getting hired well below posted mins. Such as:
Guy hired at ASA with 450TT
Guy hired at Skywest with 350TT
Guy hired at GoJet with 300TT
This seems contrary to everything on the websites for each airline. Is this just 'jetway legend' or is it possible in some instances that this may have happened? I have 350TT/75 ME. Should I publish my app on AirlineApps and see what happens or just wait until I am close to 1000TT/100ME?

you should ask yourself if you are ready to complete a 121 program .If so start applying .Just be aware if you get hired at low time failing to complete a 121 program will make the next opportunity harder to come by .I have heard horror stories of low timers washing out and having a failure on their records which will follow you for 5 years because of PRIA reporting
Rumors of the majors going into a hiring spree in the next two years will mean regionals will need bodies badly.Add into the mix fewer people are getting their private pilots licenses.

SkyWest has a hard 1000TT. You might get around it if you know somebody or have 2 shuttle launches in your logbook. GoJet and Trans States hire at low time, but remember when you get hired with low time you are rolling the dice.
Training will be difficult and some people may judge you for having less than what they may consider appropriate as far as time goes and they may scrutinize you more closely because of that. Somebody that I know who had around 500TT got a single-engine missed with an unfavorable crosswind on his check ride, tough to keep within standards for somebody with 8 sessions in a jet sim. You do not want a failure on your PRIA records.
