Safety conscious? Entry level 135 is the absolute opposite of safety conscious. I have over 1,500 hours with my ATP and went into a single pilot, IFR, twin turbo prop job. When you have 250 hours, flying single pilot in Hard IMC, icing, approaches to minimums with lives or cargo onboard… thats a joke! Suck it up, pay your dues and get to your 135, or 121 minimums and then start looking for jobs. We all did it. The hours are there to keep new pilots without the experience from going out and killing themselves and others when flying… and sometimes even with the hours its not enough…
