My question is: would it be worth it? Or should i just stay at Spartan and flight instruct to build up to the R-ATP mins to go straight into the regionals? I really like the idea of flying for AMF for the crew enviornment and the turbine experience, however I dont really understand if the SIC time is less valuable the the PIC time i would get if i just flight instruct for a longer time period.
Thank you for your time.
TPIC is the most valuable. Most majors won't look at you hard until you get a 1000 hours of TPIC. Go to the job that will let you fly TPIC the fastest. And today I would think AMF but in 6 months who knows.
