Will Legacy hire pilot without an ATP?

Just out of curiosity, when the captain is resting does the "FO in command" get to log PIC time?

I have no idea.

I think the question's been answered before, I can't remember the conclusion. However, I *personally* don't consider it true PIC because the captain's name is on the release and he's had an official captain IOE and line/route check.

This is a question I have been meaning to ask aswell. I should, hopefully, be over the mins at most majors by the time I am 21. It looks like a few airlines (Delta, Continetal, Northwest) only require the written to have been taken. Southwest requires the ATP, it does not seem like it is just a prefrence as they even say the minimum age for the job is 23 (the age requirment for the ATP).

OK, I know the phrase is "if the min wasn't good enough, it wouldn't be the min," but when you're trying for a job, your chances are GREATLY improved if you're not just squeaking in at the mins. Remember--others (who want the same job you do) are thinking, "well, that guy will only have his ATP written, so I'll do the whole thing and be better off." Another will say, "well, we both have our ATP, but I've got my college degree." Another will say, "well, I guess since I have my ATP and college degree, I better get 3000 hours."

What I'm getting at is that the best thing to do is to forget about the min, and do whatever you can to make yourself a lead-pipe cinch for the job. Be so qualified that you make them hire you--they'd be a fool not to.

I believe some of those mins also have to do with military fighter guys, who over the course of an 8-10 year flying career won't have more than about 1,500 hours -- ATP mins -- anyway.
 
A good number of the old IAH CPs are scabs, and they got their kids in there very early with minimal qualifications. One (kid) has been a total PITA for Captains.

The lack of a TPIC minimum was in place to get a select few kids hired there.

I could get my stuff walked in there the day I meet the minimums. I probably wouldn't get an interview without some TPIC though.
 
Because...

Remember, just like AP English brotha, assume you're writing for the "dummy reader"!

Not just them...the whole damn training department is on a certain list.
