C208 FO Postions?
Currently have 400 tt, looking to build time to get to 1200 IFR minimums. Dose anyone know of Airlines that routinely hire guys for FO positions that are commutable from EWR? Could be any Single Engine Turbine, but I'm interested in Caravan time.

What is the minimum experience level to be hired by an airline? You'll need to know this.
14 CFR 121.436(b):
eCFR ? Code of Federal Regulations
That said, SeaPort Airlines, flying Caravans, is advertising accepting applications for SIC's at 500 hours or more.

You might also consider the route through Great Lakes, which is a 121 operator, approved to use lower passenger capacities and operate under less restrictive Part 135 requirements, including the use of less experienced first officers.

§121.436 Pilot Qualification: Certificates and experience requirements.
(b) No certificate holder may use nor may any pilot act as second in command unless the pilot holds an airline transport pilot certificate and an appropriate aircraft type rating for the aircraft being flown. A second-in-command type rating obtained under §61.55 does not satisfy the requirements of this section.

I want to get to the FedEx Feeders is quickly as possible thus, why I am interested in caravan time. Currently I only have a CSEL IR, thus, I'm seeking SIC positions. Any 135 Frieght companies that hire SIC's? I have heard of Frieght Runners, but I'd need to get the CMEL.

Caravan FO time isn't junk and places like Seaport and Air Choice One are somewhat commuteable. With that being said do some research on hell even the first page of this subforum and you will find the real story about these places.

Also just to let you know, I don't know what your ultimate goal is wanting to rush to a FedEx feeder company but working for one increases your chances of getting on with FedEx by a grand total of 0%. Ask the MAC guys how well the partnership works out.
