Continental Mins?

[Kingairrick]

I know I am jumpin the gun here, but, What are Continental's published minimums for new hires?

What are Continental's published minimums

well, "competitive mins" are probably in the neighborhood of

4 yr degree
5000 TT
500-1000 turbine PIC min
ATP/FEX written
Previous 121 time desirable

those are always good rules of thumb

later

FEX are you sure what you are writing, there is no need at CAL for that.

By the time they start hiring again it will probably be closer to ...

10,000hours
5,000 Turbojet PIC
3,000 hours tactical aircraft
1,000 Space Shuttle
5 Lunar landings (Lunar module pilot time only)
10 LORs, including one from Gordon.
Congressional Medal of Honor

And a willingness to naw off your own right arm in front of the interviewers as you tattoo "CAL rules" across your forehead.

5 Lunar landings! That's not fair, first 121 time and now this.

Speakin of CAL, How many pilots still on furlough? Don't you think they will need to hire in the next couple of years? Retirements, how do they look?

laters

They are. The last guy on the senority list has been awarded B737 FO GUM. He will go to class in the spring/summer of '05.
