No turbine time, and no TPIC. All my time was spent Scheduled 135 as PIC on a piston twin. Multiple internal rec's.

A professional head-hunter told me years ago:
Mid-West folks are hard-working, humble and have that Mid-West work ethic.

Although I do WORK in the Midwest and went to school at UND. Does that count?

Like they say, if you're not networking, you're "not working" (at least not with a job at the majors).

UND has an agreement with Cape Air and JetBlue. If you meet the quals you pass through the gates, there you are, a never-flown-a-turbine-aircraft A320 FO.
Not knocking it, just stating what it is.

Regardless, congrats to Dokk.

It's certainly nowhere near as in-depth as the Ab-Initio programs low time pilots undertake with European carriers. That's a whole different ball game!
