I notice that some legacy carriers seem to be dropping the PIC requirements in their stipulated minimums. Some now specify SIC and 1,000 TT. Is this a a sign of pilot shortage impacting available qualified candidates? Not sure what the actual recruitment minimums are in practice but would be interested to hear.

I’m starting my training soon on the EASA route, with a jet job (A320) lined up when I qualify in Europe. I also have a greencard and was thinking about coming back to the US after I get the 1,500 hours TT, but wondered what routes would be open to me. Anybody know what level of hours LCC’s like Jetblue, Southwest, Frontier are after?

Cheers
