DMEarc is right... Before 9/11 several regional companies were hiring DECs... but they all had lots of Jet time in other aircraft. One guy that I saw get an offer at an Air Inc conference was a 727 cargo Captain. Another friend of mine was corporate jet Captain. A bunch or turbo prop and helo time is nice, but certainly not enough to get the offer. Hopefully I'm wrong since I'm a helo/C-12 guy myself... There really are too many right seat guys who are more than qualified and just need the opportunity.
