my suggestion; keep building time, you're 100 hours and change out of the training environment, gets some GOOD experience instructing, or building more time somewhere...possibly the 135 world,
either way the only way to tell if they'll bite is to apply...
I'm acting as Co-Pilot on the KA200. I only log the legs that I am the sole manipulator of the flight controls, allowed by 61.51(e)(1)(i). I have just under 200 hrs in the plane total, but only about 75 of that was loggable.
For the CE500, the aircraft was certified with two pilots required but you can get a single pilot waiver if you pass the two checkrides. Most are crewed by two pilots. I do not have a SIC type, just an endorsement but I went through the 2 week initial course at a pretty large training company, paid for by my current employer of course.
I'm trying to build my time as best as I can, but flying the KA is pretty much it for me right now. I can't really move to get time as I'm happy where I'm working now (aviation related field) but I'm looking for full time flying gig. Both flying the KA and my other job are part time. There are no flight schools around me that I can CFI at (I have my CFI/II/MEI) to build time. There is a banner towing op, but they're a very shady operation.
