What do you want to know? Continental has been hiring for a year, or so, I believe.

Oh I didn't know that. I remember last time I checked they were saying the same thing but for 2005. Today I checked it and saw it said 2006.Is Continental expanding?
b/c they would seem like the only american carrier that is (domestic and international).

Question on the "500 PIC and 500 SIC in a turbojet"

Is the 500 PIC in turbojet also (you could read it either way).

Just wondering. Someone could get to a regional for a year and then look at jumping to a major if they have all the other requirements.

I wonder where most of these pilots will be put.

Sounds like you need more like 3,000 total time to meet the other Turbojet/Turbine requirements...

Sure, it's that easy

. I have a feeling their competitive minimums are much higher. Just a guess...

Yep. CAL hired a few FO's from here. They had 0 turbine PIC. I bet they knew someone there though
