Is 1200 TT enough??

[Expat]

One Major european airline is currently taking 10 per week into the 744 and Md-11. If you have more than 190TT and 25ME don't apply, you are over qualified. Makes you ill, doesn't it?

There are people hired currently with your times. The bad news is that most of the low timers hired are out of programs that have relationships.

Take Comair for example, each class is usually made up of a wide variety of experience levels. The lower end time wise are people from the Academy.

Total Time is only a small part of the equation. Here's my advise, keep flying (i.e. building you time), then quit worrying about how low your time is and spend that energy networking with folks that can help you get an interview.

Once you get your interview just remember attitude is everything. Ya, there are lots of furloughed guys out there, but many of them are pissed off. It doesn't really bode well for them when that comes through in the interview.

My two cents.

I would agree with the networking strategy. I have been Instructing since june 01 and networking has allowed me to fly several plane types I never would have flown otherwise, an example would be 3 precious hours in a Falcon 100, three flights with the third flight flying left seat at night and sole manipulator of controls. This came from networking and a good attitude.

Now Ive just hit 1200TT and am interviewing with ASA this month

1200TT and 550 Multi

It is possible, but it takes making friends, persistance, and attitude.

The comment on the furlough bitterness is true also, I have worked with a few who are flying with us to stay current or prep for an interview and the bitterness shows, at the same time who can blame them for the frustration and stress it causes.

PSA has enough resumes on file to set up the Nov and Dec classes. No more resumes will be excepted till next year. This came out of our HR lady today when I spoke to her.

Not really. They will spend the next 8-10 years of their career just sitting in flight deck watching the world go by eating and reading. Then 2 hours out the crew returns from rest and slumber to do the landing. You could almost train a monkey to do it.
