it depends. . . . i personally know two dudes in the last year that got hired at the mins (1 SWA last summer, and one FEDEX, weeks ago). I'm talking 3000 TT, 1000 PIC dudes. I know a chief pilot at delta who says in 2013 (starting), they wont be able to keep up with retirements. FEDEX still requires a sponsor, Atlas should call, and Alaska is a family network of good old boys.. good luck..
