Well the mins aren't that high for SIC, (2000 TT). We do a lot of charter work where the insurance companies have a lot to say about TT. Plus the closer you are to PIC mins, the quicker you can upgrade. I'm looking at flying about 550-600 hrs this year vs. the 900+ at the regional. So coming in with more time could mean a couple years difference in upgrade time. Though I feel your pain, those 1900 operators are real *********s.

You decide what schedule you want. Either 9/7 or 17/15. At day 8 though I'm toast, the 17 day guys are from a different breed.
