Kenn Borek air hiring requirements
Currently a student who will be graduating with 260 hrs TT with group 1 IFR and frozen ATPL within the next 3-4 months. Was looking at potential jobs to apply to this fall and came across Kenn Borek. As far as I can tell it seems to be like a great company to work for, yet I am a little confused about the hiring requirements. On their website it says that 1000 TT is "preferred" for their FO's yet I have seen through various forums that they do hire pilots at 250 TT as long as they work flight following or the ramp for a little while? Can anyone give me clarification as to how they operate these days?

KBA’s operations are very diverse — Arctic work, overseas contracts, medevac — so flexibility and a willingness to relocate are important Skribbl IO
