WOW - it's amasing to see how some people get called within a matter of weeks and others wait years! I have been applying for years now (3+) and still no smell a call. 2500 TT, ICAO ATP, Instructors rating etc, 1000+ turbine...I also want an interview
Anyway, good luck to those going for the interviews - all the best

I am really happy for you guys!
Like I said, I have about 2500, and from other resources it looks like 3000+ is the bench mark. The only thing keeping me going now...
Good luck

Does anybody know if B1900 time (P1 on type) is good enough, or should I consider something bigger by now. I have about 500 P1 on type and have been applying for quite a while now...

BBB,
What you're saying is so right, and I think it counts for almost any other company. As we all know, it is just very hard to get a job on a jet. I think the quickest way would be to go for a payed rating, but I don't really want to do that unless I REALLY have to. I am still young, so I can take advantage of my age.
Some personal friends of mine have made it in there with very little experience on ATR's/1900's etc, so it is quite difficult to determine what the exact path would be to follow.
I have my heart set with these guys so I have to make it somehow!!
Cheers

You are correct in my background. I am in fact an ATL based CRJ capt.
However I was not able to attend the Air Inc. seminar. I was working. I do have a few friends and coworkers who were there.
