Read no turboprop experience, Pilot or Mechanic.

For personal reasons, I'm targeting a specific defense contractor position and I want to become Mr. Dash-8. I'm really interested in Piedmont and willing to live where based if hired. Question 1: Thoughts on Piedmont? Question 2: If hired, I plan to approach them and ask if I can work as a Mechanic Part-time (days off)...has anyone ever heard of this being done? Think this could be possible? Of course I would need to be domiciled in a city with a MX base...I have not applied for a pilot position yet...

Thanks!
This is rarely done, primarily because of the rest regulations. You'll be required to have zero availability to the company (for rest) turning wrenches included.

Most guys who want to use both skills end up in the training department interfacing with Mx. Good luck.
