Not exactly true

What you quoted in your last post was for E190 FO's. That said what is quoted is the minimum. That's just the lowest end of the Resume spectrum they will accept. Usually you can double the hours to expect an interview.

My company has just lifted it's minimum to 1000TT and 500 hours on any TP. We have Resume's that far exceed these minimums to the point where 2000TT and 1000 hours TP will definately get you a interview and somewhere halfway may get you a phone screening.

Before you all start screaming why, it's because my boss would rather take a unemployed pilot who has bills to pay and kids to feed than a 250 hour guy who can still live at home. His exact words were "when I run out of pilot applicants who have children to feed I will gladly take on the fATPL guys and girls who are looking for a break. That won't be for a while yet though"
