During the "major shortage" last year, you would generally need 1000 hours total time, 100 multi to get into a RHS in a commuter operation.

The exception that proved the rule was Mesa who would hire into the RHS with as little as 300 TT. I don't know of any other programs like this in the States, maybe back East. Even so, most Mesa recruits would still go the longer CP/CFI route.

To get into a major, 2500 TT with 1000 hours turbine PIC wasn't unusual. Each airline would differ, but it was in that sort of ballpark.

You didn't need a degree to get into the commuters, almost 100% required for a job with a major, but not quite. You should definitely get one though.
