With my time and 4 year degree, do I have a decent shot at a 135 company? I don't have my CFI and really don't want to instruct. Do I have enough hours to pass on instructing and go with a 135 operator as SIC? Thanks!
Should be a good chance. I don't see your multi time, so sometimes that can be a factor. While a lot tend to require 1000-1500TT, it's not uncommon to see the 500-800TT range as well, and recently Contour was posting BE400 SIC with a 400TT/100ME minimum. AB jets has posted looking for...700 to 800 I think. Cape Air and Tradewind want simialr, and Grand Canyon does too (for single pilot). I also knew a guy at a 135 operation that advertised 1000TT but said they could consider 700-800 if they had CFI. So sometimes listings post hard minimums, but not always.
