Absolutely freaking mind boggling. Has the industry truly sunk to such depths that this is the level of applicant at an airline? Thirteen hours and only looking for a few more and that's it?
Go get a damn job flying night freight single pilot IMC in the clag, bust your ass and get real experience, instead of trying to do the bare minimum and get away with doing the very least that you can do.
Holy crap. Seriously. Unbelievable.
Ameriflight is offering bonuses. I seem to see more and more threads by applicants who look to build time (go get experience; forget "time"). Applicants who feel that 1,500 hours is some kind of hardship. 1,500 hours is nothing. This big rush to run before you haven't learned to crawl is naive at best. If you chose a flying career, then get your butt out the door, get in a cockpit, and fly. Get some experience. Get your hands dirty. Stop trying to do the bare minimum to curtain climb to the next rung. 13 hours doesn't make you experienced it. Another twelve hours won't either.
Instead of looking for a benefactor to allow you to grace his cockpit for a few hours, get vetted, go through the interview and selection process, get yourself into some equipment that makes you stretch yourself, grow, and from which you'll learn essential lessons that will be in use for the rest of your career.
That will NOT come from another 12 hours in some sugar daddy's light twin.
