I know I've also been crunching the numbers and it looks pretty tight. On the other hand the pilots there seem to be able to make that 1st year work so there must be ways to figure it out. It seems like a very close knit pilot group so I'm guessing everyone kind of helps everyone else out (finding crash pads etc..)
If you don't mind me asking are your times around the 750/50 minimums? I meet the multi and all of the recency requirements they want but I'm about 100 short on Total Time and I'm wondering if they are calling people under the listed "preferred" minimums. Thanks!
