I think I would like the part 135 flying better just not so sure about flying all night. Would I even be able to get LCK right away?
By picky I mean Base. People have upgraded at AirNet in after about 6 months in the right seat of the Lear, but only because they didn't care where they end up. If you are going to stay in Columbus it will probably take longer. Getting a LCK SIC spot shouldn't take too long. My best guess 10-14 months. If you are set on staying in LCK, again my best guess, it will probably take 12 18 months. Now keep in mind in the last 6-8 months we have lost about 7 PIC's system wide to other Airlines. I don't see that we are going to be able to slow that down any time soon. More than likely it will get worse!
