Ha! You wimps should have been here during the '80s.
The early '90s weren't much different. I applied for a Metro F/O job with the following:

1. ATPL
2. 4500 hrs total time
3. 3000 hrs multi time
4. 800 hrs turbine time
5. Multi crew experience.

I didn't even get an interview, the rejection letter explained that they wanted ENDORSED pilots only (their capital letters).

I knew a C206 driver with 5000 hrs total who couldn't get a twin job because he only had 25 hrs multi time.
