Whoever told you that hour builders are coming here instead of flight instructing is jerking your gherkin!
I promise I'm not trolling, and do not mean this as inflammatory, but I have always found the FO mins interesting... In reading a few other posts about "kissing the ring", lack of seniority list, 81k for CAs, etc. What makes someone sit right seat in a King Air with way more experience than required to sit right seat in an RJ - especially, at the moment at least, with the future 121 hiring outlook? I guess I can see more varied flying, etc, but at the end of the day most flying jobs become a bit monotonous - trading a terminal for an FBO. Respectfully asking out of pure curiosity, nothing more.
