Just to give you and anyone who reads this a confidence booster. I just withdrew from my flight school in FL 2 weeks ago while I was in CFI class because I was hired buy a gentleman to be SIC in his citation. It is a rare opportunity for someone who is 20 years old with 220 TT. Took a 2 day class and now am SIC type rated. This weekend is my first day on the job and I keep pinching myself to make sure this is real. Wish I had my CFI as a "safety net" but I have a feeling this job will pan out well. If I can do it, anyone can!
Just letting you know anything can happen out there. Its called LIFE! Best of luck to you!
I was 19 and working toward my CFI when I got hired to fly right seat in a AC690 on a cancelled check run, because their regular copilot got hired at American Airlines and gave them NO NOTICE when he left. They needed someone RIGHT NOW, and I was there, ready, with my Multi/Comercial ticket.
Two years later, that guy who went to AA was furloughed, and flying as MY COPILOT on the AC690.
Anything -can- happen but it usually happens at the airport, not at your couch or on the internet...
I'm just say'n, get out to the local airports and start meeting people who fly for a living, let them know you are imediately available.
