I am just curious to know what the competitive mins are these days?


I have:

-3 type ratings
-1500TPIC
-5100 TT
-No check-ride failures

dog is correct. People left the 320 FO position to go elsewhere (probably 737), so the 320 doesn’t have enough FOs. The latest vacancy had a bunch of 320 FO spots (which went almost entirely unfilled), so the company can now offer those in indoc. So, new hires can expect 320 and 737 FO.

Or WBFO or upgrade to CA. Either one will work - or will break a seat lock for that matter. All depends on how well you figure the new reserve rules will work for you I suppose, especially for commuters...

He’s speaking about a recent vacancy in which they offered a bunch of 320 FO positions because as a result of the prior vacancy caused a net CA/FO imbalance. All but 2 of the 320 FO positions vacated were upgrades, WBFO, or 756FO. Going from 320FO-737FO after a seat lock is pretty uncommon unless you want to live in Cleveland or Orlando.

FYI, DL is not done for the year. There will be a 2 month pause in Nov/Dec for the holidays after onboarding the planned number by Oct (5 classes remain until then). Interviews are reportedly ongoing.

That said, CJO’s are ~6 months from interview to class date right now. Good Luck.

I’d say as long as you have a 4 year degree (becoming more and more of a hard requirement with things slowing down), then those are pretty competitive.

Obviously people are still getting hired without one, but I’ve heard it’s much less common than it was in recent years. Always apply and keep the app updated weekly!

Depends on how many job fairs you attend...

on half-wingers, it looks like the Sep 10th class is full of late January and early February CJOs

He’s referring to Delta.

I tried to post a thread but I think I'm too new to do so..

I am a CFI a few months past ATP mins. It's tough to get a first airline job out there, I'll tell you that. But my main question is...

The golden wave has passed. It seems like it's virtually a guarantee that regular joe-schmoes like me will never have a realistic shot at a legacy. A year/two years ago guys with DUIs and 3 checkride failures were making legacies with 800 turbine hours, and now guys like me with a pristine record... Are we screwed? Is that what this is coming down to?

UA was the dream. Many of my long time life friends work there. I am 33, and I feel so behind right now but due to life, I just couldn't make the jump until 2019 to start flying.

Do I have any prayers hope or chance of making a legacy, specifically UA? If I do make it, am I doomed to being on reserve for 5+ years and being a double furloughee? With all these hires they've made the last few years and everything slowing down now it sure feels like the rest of us are ****ed..
