DAY is not an easy commute with some exceptions. The same might be said for CVG.
You'll need 1,000 hours Part 121 SIC time to upgrade. Getting aircraft commander in your ANG unit might be equally important.
My guard unit is in Charleston,WV and Im from the area so I would like to stay here if at all possible. It's roughly 3 hours from where I live to drive there and I have family in that area which I could stay with if need be. Thanks for the upgrade info at PSA and I agree with upgrading with my unit, I'm in no hurry to get hired because I could always guard bum and feel that it allows me to be more picky on a regional. I'm close to 750 tt to qualify for R-ATP and I'm wondering if that would be enough to get hired, or if i need more to be competitive even at a regional.
