Can Alcione or azdriver or others who have been hired recently talk about experience levels? Do most newhires far exceed the minimums or are they near the minimums? What about flight experience - are we talking about LCC, bizjet, military, regional jet? It would be helpful to know these things for people who are considering applying.
General question to the group: do newhires start as SOs (cruise pilots) or do they start as FOs on the line?
Cheers
