You gave wayyyy to much info, next time only give your qualifications and let the company decide once your onboard.

Partially true. The company does spend money and time on applicants who come to interview. I believe the interview team appreciates having some disclosure up front so that they understand the situation prior to committing for an individual interview. If this person wants to work his situation out with us and develop a solution prior to an interview, I don't believe that's a bad decision. It would be a bad day with money spent and time invested after the job offer is made, for a person to say, "Well, wait, now that I look at this, it's probably not going to work."

I absolutely understand what your saying, but I also understand why he'd want to discuss this before hitting the gas pedal.

Bingo. Not a way to build a trustworthy, healthy relationship with an employer.

Just wondering; I am currently flying as an fo with about 3 years 121 experience with about 3400 tt 1700 jet time. No previous king air time. What position would you guys most likely hire me into?
I know it all depends on what is open etc, but with the following info what am I looking at?

How much jet PIC is required for a Phenom CA position?

Until you have 3500TT...we have to look for an SIC position for you.
Once you have 3500TT, then a Phenom CA is. Possibility pending your quals and experience.
Just because one has 7000TT doesn't mean he/she is ready to jump into the left seat in a new realm of flying.

Zero....nada....zilch!
A direct entry PIC is dependent upon more than just key PIC time.
I have met many who have thousand of hours of jet PIC who aren't a good fit and have hired some guys who had zero jet PIC.

How is the 12 on 3 off schedule really like? I know it differs all the time depending on the client etc. But can you post a few previous schedules that some pilots have had in the past? Just trying to see how it really is. For me this is the only thing that I am hesitant about, I have a wife and 7 month old twins at home that I need to think about. Thanks in advance.

Wiz,

I'm not really sure what your looking for here.
I have a wife and 3 kiddos at home (7,5,3) too!
The family is very important!
As for the Sked....the 12/3 is built upon being in and out of base during your 12 days. You will have time where you can have multi day trips in a row or 2 day back to backs or a 3-4 day tossed in.
It varies upon the client trip requests. The thing to understand is that we spent nights at home during the 12. There are times where we get stretched out in other bases sometimes. That's the nature of the beast. The key is that scheduling and managment eyeballs are on your Sked and will find ways to get you home if something goes haywire.
To ask what is a typical Sked is impossible to define.
One guy might do 6 day trips, 3 standby at home days and a 3 day while another guys might to three 3 days and 3 standby at home days during his. Scheduling tries their best to even the load so everyone gets the most nights at home. Each 12 day rotation is different from the last.
