You just posted them....

If you're coming from a Bridge Program you have significantly fewer hours than what you posted, and there are tons of people I've flown with recently with barely the times you posted.

At Mesaba you can get on with 270/18. Maybe a little less depending on what color tie you have on.

You have to pass this test. I missed number 8 and number 2 but then I got a waiver so I'm still an airline pilot.

Word on the street is Piedmont is hiring well below mins.

Word also on the street is getting water boarded or just flat out shot in the face by Seal Team 6 is more appealing then working for a regional. Mins at Comair are zero right now!!!

Pinnacle is handing out class date (without interview) to graduates of Western Michigan and Oklahoma University with a 3.0 or better GPA and Comm/Inst/ME ratings. It's the new "Direct Track" program, and yes, you heard that right: no interview, you just get a class date assigned.
