What is gonna get me there first? 1000TPIC in two years on a prop or 1000 TPIC on a jet in four years?
Thanks all
I am going to say something here that is going to come across as very harsh, but read the whole thing. There is good advice here.
Quit worrying about what HR wants and worry about what will give you good quality of life, decent pay, and a sense of accomplishment
regardless of what you fly. If you base your entire career path on a percieved roadmap you believe is approved by (enter legacy of choice here), you will learn the very hard lesson that by the time you meet that standard you set, the standards will have likely changed. Why is everyone so hung up on this,"I have to fly a jet for the majors" kick. When did aviation cease to be a job that you found THRU NETWORKING that offered good pay, a great QOL, and working with a good group of people regardless of what you fly. Why are people willing to sacrifice all those things in the attempt to get to a Legacy early. Instead of looking at it like you are, take a step back say to yourself I will find a job that I enjoy, have fun with and I like the people, doesnt matter what I am flying. Now sit back till you meet the mins and then apply. You WILL be a much more rounded happy pilot which will come out in your interview for the "Legacy", which may just equate to getting thte job. But then what do I know, Ive never flown a jet, I probably wasnt good enough
