Question Regional Time Required???

Hi guys/gals

Wondering what sort of time is required for a regional airliner in the states.

Would 1000TT 200 Multi cut the grade and get me a look in or interview?

Thumbs up

Kavu--Those numbers, in their own right, are good enough.

You'll obviously need FAA certificates as well. Prior 121 or 135 time would be nice but most regionals hire straight from the flight schools.

Lower tier regionals yes, the better ones, perhaps not. As hiring slows at the majors, it trickles down to the regionals. My airline has a hiring pool, others have slowed also.The recruiters can be a bit more picky as the need for warm bodies is only from growth, and not from attrition. Two years ago we were picking up lots of pilots with those times, none now. Suggest you boost the TT and ME time if you can.

American Eagle is hiring a few guys with time as low as that, however, you must have the "right to work" in the US -- i.e. a green card. Otherwise, no company will even interview you.
