not the best time to be job hunting. there are some low cost carriers that do employ pilots with minimum hours, but they also make them pay for their own type rating and charge them for the sim checks every 6 monts (it gets taken out of their wages- about a pound a block hour i think).
when it comes to big national carriers, they wont even look at you unless your have 3000hrs + on type, however some do take cadets from one or two schools who have a contract with them. the schools do say come learn with us and fly for this national carrier, but in reality a very small amount of their students get in.
