New hire at a ULCC next week, 0 turbine time about 1700 TT. All piston. Degree + non-flyer mil experience.
What's the vibes on hiring over the next 3-5 years or so? I still know guys who are getting offers from legacies at sub-1000 turbine time. Does this tend to be the exception, rather than the norm? Planning to apply (app is filled out just need to complete IOE before I submit). Just wondering what the latest vibes are for the medium term.
Yeah, yeah.. I missed the wave. Can't do anything about that, flying wasn't possible for me til 2020. Time is mostly on my side (just turned 29), but I do struggle with FOMO.

That doesn’t mean don’t apply—your personal experiences may trump what your hours lack.

I had similar resume and had gotten bites from DL and UA along with a bunch of my friends and acquaintances. 800 hours of turbine seemed to be the sweet spot. I would add that I also volunteered and hit multiple conventions hard. Networked a ton outside of that too. It’s definitely possible. That said, anything can happen. Try to affect what you can change and don’t sweat the stuff you can’t.

Just remember that those are still insanely low numbers to most people hired in the last 20 years. Anyone getting hired today at 1500, 3000, etc. are still winning the lottery from a luck standpoint, just at a lower payout.
