I've got 120TT and 8ME and have my Private Multi-Engine ride scheduled for tomorrow.....after 8.1hrs which is the lowest my CFI has ever seen someone do a Multi (VFR only or not). It's in the Twin Comanche...light twin with a Vmc of 78kts...
Crism-
The above qualifications don't make a strong case for you. Even the lowest time hires here at Mesa (from the Mesa Airlines Pilot Development program a.k.a. MAPD) have at least 300 hours and roughly 100 multi with a commerial and instrument. I'm not saying this is high time, but it is high time relative to you.
I worked the ramp before my airline job, and short of knowing to wear ear plugs and stay away from turning props, it hasn't benefitted me working in the cockpit whatsoever.
I got my multi in 3.9 hours in a Beech travel air, a burly twin that is older than the two of us combined.
This sounds like I am trying to start a peeing match with you, and I assure you am not. Recently I have realized I come across as a jerk, so I am trying to change that.
What 727ups said above is spot on. Previously I wasn't a fan of him, but that post changed my mind. Read it and take it to heart.
Finish up school, get your ratings and some time, then come to the regionals. It's the right way to do it.
