Ok, so I've been looking at jobs at pilotjobs.com I'm no where near the requirements to get a job flying yet, but I'm really interested in something. I want to be well prepared as I have been reading up as much as possible and driving the board nuts with millions of questions.. Heh..

Anyway, when looking at the job qualifications, it says:
Minimum/Competitive/preferred

Now what does that mean.. exactly? If joe blow wants any shot at the job, he needs to submit a a resume with the preferred qualifications right? I understand what those 3 words mean, but from an employer standpoint, should I even pay any attention to the minimum and competitive? What is competitive?

Also, most ask for a airline transport pilot certificate, but commercial for minimum. Whats that mean?

Thanks,

Minimum - Usually the bare minimum the employer will consider you for the job with
Competitive - Usually shows what people have been getting hired at lately.
Preferred - shows what the employer would like you to have.


So at a regional for instance say

Minimum - 500 and 100 multi
Competitive - 1000 and 250 multi
preferred - 2500 and 1000 multi with you ATP.

So the minimum you can apply with is 500/100, most people are getting hired at 1000/250 but the airline would really like to see 2500/1000 with an ATP.

Most people just say apply when you get close to the mins and keep updating on a regular basis.
