ATP, the types in my profile, and the rest of it (passport, class 1 med, etc), but like many other folks (with higher quality experience), my phone isn't ringing off the hook despite apps in everywhere. Seriously considering applying for a regional position to add 121 to the resume.
It looks like the math says 6-7 months until a mil guy would accrue his 500+500 121 time... Just a helluva gamble if the music was to stop sooner vs later at year 1 FO pay.
If there are some TSA Captains reading this thread, I'd appreciate a PM to ask some more questions.
I am sure that everyone will give me crap but look at Sun Air. I am sure they suck as bad or worse than every other regional but they are hiring straight to the left seat and the starting pay in a piston twin is $50K +. You are flying pax, and have a right seater so the crew concept is there. If you are just looking to put the check in a block at least you can do it at a much higher pay rate from day one.
