Which Legacy/Major do you want to work at and why...

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

Yah, I know. I was trying to figure out what their mins had been during previous windows. I've still a lot of time to build, so I'm just looking for a ballpark.

What are your times now and what do you fly?

Not much , ~1,200. My Taylorcraft right now, but the Saab soon.

Congrats on the Saab gig! I'd apply as soon as you hit 2,500 to VX and I think it was 3,000 for AS. Although by the time you get there we should be one big (hopefully somewhat happy) family.

What does it take to hear back from VX? I applied, but haven't heard a thing. I will try and make it to a job fair

Thanks! I will hopefully get to swing gear for Alec sometime .

I had a guy I used to fly with, who's there now, walk my stuff into a CP's office. I know that helps.

To be honest I don't even know. Just do the best you can on that online assessment. The rest is up to the aviation Gods and their magic formulas.

Southwest. I'm sure every pilot group is great in their own way, but I've never felt more at home than with southwest crews when I ride their jumpseat.

Sitting at 3400 TT and 700 TPIC, I think I'll be happy whoever takes me first.

Here's what I heard from the base chief pilot's office at Alaska:
At a minimum, 3000 total, 1000 turbine PIC, 4-year degree.

I'll take a group of 64 year old grumpy captains over fun 40 year olds ;-)

Truth! It's not great for career progression getting parked in the right seat indefinitely because the guys (girls) in the left seat have another 20 years until retirement.

Curious about rotor/heli guys out of the military. Besides regionals, do DL/AA/UA accept heli time for minimums? And how about the majors/LCC like Frontier Spirit, JetBlue, Allegiant, Hawaiian, and Alaska?

JetBlue takes Helo time and I think Hawaiian does as well. I'm not sure if they accept it to make mins or just count it as flight time after you meet min requirements. You'd have to check.

If I remember right, the southwest and united official sites specifically say no. Delta looks to be a maybe.

Personally I'm hoping a mix a fixed and rotor, tons of IFR time, and the military aspect do the trick.

I have a P-6 buddy, or whatever the Guppy is in the Navy, tell my wife he'd get out and go straight to the airlines making $500/hour. I was gone when he said it and look forward to educating him a little on the civilian side of things.

He's young and I laughed at a few of our conversations. He thinks I'm CIA, as I'm sure a few of the people on here do, and I just laugh. Do you think I'd be posting or talking normally to people about what I do? I'm busy a normal guy making a buck or two.

Total, sure.

But I hear they have a minimum amount of fixed wing as a requirement.

That's the perfect cover.
