a320,

outsideCAS has a very good point. In my part of the world many operators use these sort of tactics to get people out of their office or to stop calling them. I worked at a place that simply told each hopeful that if they had "XXX" more hours or a "XXX" rating they would get a shot. This was complete nonsense as most of the time we weren't hiring and even then what we told them still wasn't enough.

There is a DHC 8 operator that will interview you with a fATPL, 250TT and 100 command. Only a very small amount of guys with that minimum get in. The average is around 1000TT and a bit of multi or SE Turbine to get an offer.

I'm told the very low time guys struggle in the sim. As soon as you load them up a bit it goes pear shaped.
