I've got a commercial ticket and a HS-25 type rating, 2100h total with about 1000h of Hawker time. I'm thinking of paying for an upgrade course at Simcom, as that would include 16h in the sim, which I really need to brush up. Top that off with an ATP checkride, and I'll end up current in the hawker, with an ATP. What do you guys think of the plan?
Good luck to you. After my "cardiac issues" I could no longer hold a medical but I know we would not hire someone with "issues" because so many clean slate apps to chose from. Bottom line was we hire someone with issue, they crash for any reason and kill self loading baggage the family sues anyway. We lose. Sometimes you just have to give it up. Hope for the best for you.
