Basic requirements and MCO base
I have two questions, in the website it says that you will need 1500 hours TT and the prefer 2500 and 500 turbine time, what is the likelihood of me getting hired at 1500 TT? And my second question is, I understand they opening up a base in MCO, does anyone know if that base will be a senior base? If so how long do you think until a new hire will be able to have it as a base?(I don’t mind being in reserves since I live there). Thank you in advance guys!

I didn’t see any mention of his turbine time. Usually Military folks will have some form of turbine time if they are around 1500 TT…. Which is why I said Military, no problem. OP didn’t give us his stats. Which why I also said, Civilian, no chance….

True. My understanding from his post is that he has zero…. Which would be the same number of military pilots applying to the airlines with zero turbine.

No LOL! Currently LCC’s are hiring 1500 hour pilots. We are hiring alot of pilots in the low 2,000 hour range with no TPIC with no degree.
In the not to distant future we will be hiring 1500 pilots at UAL. Thus the change. The industry has no one left. Kirby wants to hire 8000 on top of retirements in next 5 years. Looks like will be compromising safety for hiring.
