Hi Guys
I'm currently looking into applying for a regional co pilot position and was wondering how much of an issue my lack of currency Instrument/ Multi would effect my chances of landing the job. My Times are as follows:- 1150TT, 198 Instrument (58 actual), 179 multi.
I last flew a twin back in Aug 05 and the last IPC check was sept 06, Im planning on getting my IPC done prior to applying but I don't want to have to go to the expense of trying to find a reasonably priced twin, to do even more multi hour building.
I will be applying for a regional with either ERJ or CRJ Aircraft.
Thanks in advance for any advice

I know people who have been hired without being multi current, but they have always been instrument current. Take what I say with a grain of salt - I am not an airline pilot.

I wouldn't worry about it. Getting the IPC shows good intent. They might bring up your lack of multi currency at the interview, so have a good response thought out in advance. I'd be more worried about getting through the sim if you get hired.

Most regionals need pilots right now, some are hard up. But the generally accepted practice in aviation interviewing is to show up current in all respects on the airplane you are applying to fly. A type rating is not required except at a few airlines (mostly foreign), and many biz-jet operators.

I suspect that most regionals would let you slide right now, but hard to say for sure...the safe answer is to get current.

I would spend the time getting current. The I would check how many hours do you have in the past 6 months and spend some time making sure you are profecient flying the instruments in a sim. BTW I was hired at a regional with 2.1 actual instrument. All the rest hood time.
