Quote: John, turbine is great to have. I guess the question is what kind of dual do you have. King Air, Piper Aztec, ATR?

On of the new hires in my class spent over 6 years flying Piaggio's, and only 4 months at Express Jet. So most of their time was in turbo props, but turbo props with glass, and in a company that operates on a long, constantly changing schedule. The Express Jet time was in the ERJ. That tells me that the quality of the time is more important than the hour counts themselves. Just my humble opinion.
Thanks for the info. I don't have any turbine - all twin time is Aztec time. My next step likely is a regional of some kind, getting that turbine time- then apply to Atlas. I doubt they'd look at me without it.
