Oh man, the amount of fun those kids are going to miss out on. Fire detection low level, running along empty over the bush at 300' on a beautiful day, the people you meet flying 703. The comradery in the crew house, hangar stories from the old guys, bonfires, waterskiing behind the crash boat, etc. Not to mention the hard learned lessons that 703 charter work teaches about saying no, developing instincts and just good old fashioned personal development. I wouldn't wish a airline FL250 job on anybody right out of college. Seems almost cruel to deny them those experiences.

Meh, I don't blame anyone for taking the opportunities presented to them. I bet Jazz looks very close to the end game a lot of fresh CPLs envision.

That is true. Ignorance is bliss, if you don't know what you are missing, how can you miss it?

While the college guys/girls coming to Jazz will have great careers they are definitely missing the most fun part of aviation. Also places where you make lifelong friends

How about call back times after you hit the apply button and/or where they are currently hiring at TT wise

There will always be guy/gals who want to be one of the few, not the many; or those who are from/like living in small towns vs 'the big smoke'...

I think the lowest time guy I’ve heard of outside of the college kids had 1,200 TT or so. That being said, multi crew turbine is worth a LOT more than time spent in a 172 flying circuits or instructing it seems. As far as when you’ll hear back after applying, that’s anyone’s guess. I’ve seen everywhere from 3 weeks to 4 months. HR is flooded with applications right now, and the holiday season is fast approaching. If you just applied, I would think you’d hear back by the spring on whether or not to expect an interview.

I know of guys in the 800 to 900hr range being hired. They had some multi pic too, however it is all ifr, 2-crew 703 time. Not sure if they had their AAs written or just IATRA.

They’ve recently lowered the requirements to 500TT from 1000 if you went to one of the college’s with a Jazz Pathways program and didn’t get in right after graduation.

Well that makes me feel a little better. I'm over 1800TT with multi crew turbine time but just applied beginning of the month

I updated my profile at the start of November and got a call back about a week later. I have about 1150 Hours and my AA written. About 400 Multi PIC to. All Navajo time. But guys are definitely being call with 7 to 800 hours. Haven't Heard back yet about my interview though.

Honestly who knows what the requirements are anymore

If you really want the job, just keep applying and they'll call eventually.

It's great to see you kept at it and got the job, congrats. How much of that 800 total time was multi engine time ?

Thanks
