Any word on:
1. Whats actually competitive?
2. The junior base?
3. Schedules commutable?
2,500TT
1,000+ AK
1,000+ Turb Multi
300 Turb Multi PIC
BS Aviation
Masters Aviation (4.0)
Much appreciated!
From 7 years worth of updating applications, networking, and perusing this and other sites in an attempt to get a call (I remember lear700 fondly), it would seem as if New York is, has been, and will always be the junior base. If memory serves, SEA is probably the most senior and will take years to hold. Your times look reasonable if you are prior military, but quite low if you are civilian only. The lowest civilian numbers I have seen are in the high 3000's with prior, non-flying military experience. Average seems to be about 7000-8000 for civilian guys. Commutability is subjective. Anything is commutable, although sime situations are less realistic than others. Good luck!
