I'm currently flying single pilot as a 135(b) 400 series Cessna as a VFR Captain for the summer months. I am thinking of staying or moving on to turbine equipment when I hit FAR 135(c) minimums. I would really like to fly the 1900, and the bonus is really enticing. Do you need to fly the 99 first and then move into the 1900? I'm just trying to think ahead. Thanks for your time.
Hi, there!
Yes. We lock down the base before you sign your offer letter. We won't ever change your base after that unless agreed upon by us both.
Burbank or Ontario (our other CA base) is definitely an option as a new hire.
No, you do not need to fly the 99 first to fly the 1900. Based on your times, you may be qualified to jump to the 1900.
If you don't mind, what are your times? TT, ME, XC, Night, PIC, Instrument, Turbine? Feel free to comment back here or PM.
Thank you!
