As long as you have 1500 hours and a CMEL it really doesn't matter if you build multi or single time.

I would agree with you if i Was not looking for the minimums I qualify for the restricted ATP and will be doing my first interview in June I would love to try to get my minimums in multi time before that happens. If I could do that before I have to spend savings that would be great. We all know how important that will be with the lack of pay thats coming.

Sure it does.

Multi-engine time is worth considerably more than single time in nearly any context, except when seeking single engine jobs.

An ATP (1500 hours) with 50 hours multi will get you into every regional airlines Interview room in the current environment. I'd have at least 50 hours of piston multi and get some sim time in an RJ vs. spending more money or effort on piston multiengine time.

Default Multi

I'm aware of that guys I have 13.5 hours in only looking to build another 12 hours and in the end if I have to pay I will but I know there are guys that sometimes look for right sweaters because they own there in plane that's what I'm looking for

Absolutely freaking mind boggling. Has the industry truly sunk to such depths that this is the level of applicant at an airline? Thirteen hours and only looking for a few more and that's it?

Go get a damn job flying night freight single pilot IMC in the clag, bust your ass and get real experience, instead of trying to do the bare minimum and get away with doing the very least that you can do.

Holy crap. Seriously. Unbelievable.


Ameriflight is offering bonuses. I seem to see more and more threads by applicants who look to build time (go get experience; forget "time"). Applicants who feel that 1,500 hours is some kind of hardship. 1,500 hours is nothing. This big rush to run before you haven't learned to crawl is naive at best. If you chose a flying career, then get your butt out the door, get in a cockpit, and fly. Get some experience. Get your hands dirty. Stop trying to do the bare minimum to curtain climb to the next rung. 13 hours doesn't make you experienced it. Another twelve hours won't either.

Instead of looking for a benefactor to allow you to grace his cockpit for a few hours, get vetted, go through the interview and selection process, get yourself into some equipment that makes you stretch yourself, grow, and from which you'll learn essential lessons that will be in use for the rest of your career.

That will NOT come from another 12 hours in some sugar daddy's light twin.

Pretty much all the regionals are asking for only 25 hours of multi. You do the other 25 in the sim as allowed per the FARs.

If you are looking for a single pilot, multi engine job, you are looking at closer to 50-100 hours of multi required.
