PA31 PIC vs Jet SIC
I'd love to get some feedback about my next career move from those with hindsite.....
I'm re-entering professional aviation after a long hiatus, wherein I built some multi time commuting in my own airplane. I'm at 1200TT, 260 ME PIC, 1050 PIC.
I've got an opportunity to go with the big 135 cargo operation as a PA31 Captain, or, for a bit less money, with another operator, SIC in a fast jet, on demand, approx 20 hrs / month, at home when not flying so would allow me to work on a bachelor's degree.
I'm conflicted. I accepted the jet spot, and feel like I made the right call. It's a good operation, good people, great equipment, in my back yard. I know I'll hear that the choice depends on my career goals, but I've not yet solidified a long term plan. Probably 121, as that seems like good QOL, but maybe there's options.
Is this a no brainer to anyone out there? If so, which direction?
