Of the following airlines, does anyone know if they are still hiring, and if they are, what are their true minimums? The reason why I ask about "true minimums" is, for example, ExpressJet has 700 / 100 posted on the company website and AirlineApps has their minimums listed at 1,000 / 50. Thanks

ExpressJet
Piedmont
GoJet
Air Wisconsin
PSA
CommutAir
 
Republic.... for all certificates...yes I am familiar with the website...just adding it to the list.
Trans States
Silver
Skywest
 
Avantair is hiring (for a pool right now, but it's likely to pick up again come summer). No CASS, though.
 
I flew with a sim instructor yesterday who said that PSA stopped hiring so that we could focus on upgrades (a whole wooping 6 a month) but will begin hiring again "soon".

I can confirm this through a friend. He got through basic in doc

and his class was given two months off(i think it was just two months) while they focus on getting upgrades done.

I was told the other day that we stopped hiring for the moment. The website still shows we are. Just curious if you heard this rumor or not? I guess it may have something to do with The fact we are only having one upgrade class now.
 
Thank you to everyone for your responses. I have another question that concerns building time. I have access to a relatively low-priced C-172 that is IFR equipped and to build some time quickly (I am currently at 660 / 104) I am thinking about flying this airplane a lot in a short amount of time. My question / concern is I do not want anyone thinking I "pencil-whipped" my logbook. Is there a good way to "legitimize" this time, such as getting the owner (who is a former Marine pilot) to sign it stating that the time is actual flight time? I want to do whatever I can total time wise so as to be as minimally affected by HR 5900. What I am trying to do is get to 800 hrs. within the next two to three months, and hope that the 1,000 hr. ATP exemption is adopted in the NPRM, since I have a degree from an AABI institution / 141 flight school. Thanks again for everyone's help.

 
The thing that gives away how much time you have is not what's in your logbook, but how you operate the aircraft.

If the hours are legit, you won't have anything to worry about.
 
In regards to HR 5900, even if the degree exemption (1000 t.t) or the military exemption (750 t.t) is included, will someone still have to satisfy the specific category-time requirements (500 hrs. xc, 100 hrs. night, 100 hrs. instrument, 250 pic, etc.) that is in a standard ATP?
