I thought it would take years flying BE99 or other equipment until you get a chance in EMB due to seniority list. That means you can work at Ameriflight and basically fly just the BRA if you want to?
Thanks.
Sorry, I thought you were talking about our FO transition program which is fly right seat in one of our aircraft that is usually flown single pilot. I wasn't talking about the E120 when I mentioned going from the 99 to the aircraft you were an FO in.
You will need more than 1400-1500 hours to be left seat in the 120. Normal progression would be hire on as an FO, BE99 at 1200 hours or so, 1400-1600 transition to the SA227 or BE1900 and then somewhere in the 2000 hour range you would be able to bid to the left seat of the E120.
Book numbers for the E120 are 3000 total, 1500 AML PIC, 750 turbine. But those can be adjusted based on performance and previous time in the aircraft (ie. SIC time.)
