Pilots that live in base do not want to spend nights away from home. Becoming a senior FO is becoming tougher for newly hired pilots as the lack of pilots upgrading makes that list longer and longer. Unless you are bidding in the tops 30 in both seats you aren’t doing pure day trip lines. In the winter months those day trip lines increase a little.

Does anyone know the current hiring requirements for FO? The website is contradicting itself where on the job listing it says "Successful completion of ATP/CTP course and current ATP Written", however, on the benefits page, it says "Paid ATP-CTP certification".

Some have been hired without and there is a process for getting the ATP as a new hire, so you definitely can apply and see what happens.

Think about who you’re competing against- current 121 pilots and 135 captains with years of experience. Go to a regional.
Bridge students from the partner programs get ATP/CTP.

All true, but hiring people out of Kai's company is considered humanitarian aid so that's an extra resume point.
J/k. Still, when you have a chance to get your app in, do so. If you want to accelerate your chances and timeline, go to a regional. If you are happy with things where you are, ride it out for a while there and see if you can get a call.
