Correct,
I spoke to them and this is what they told me.
It went up to 3000 hrs due to high time pilot on the market.
May I also add that they also told me 1000 hrs of turbine time.
But it looks like the things are slowing down, time between interviews and then looking at possibly 1 year to get a course date.
Looks like anywhere from 15 to 24 months between the first call for the first interview to the ground school.
Good luck to you all, I am hoping for 2005 myself.
