I am just below 3600 hours, 1400 of that in helicopters, and just over 500 multi-engine FW. I was hoping to get a seat in the B1900 or Metro.
Thanks for any info!
Hi, there!
Home-Based Captains are sent anywhere we need them throughout our system. That being said, we try to keep them close to where they live (as the plane ticket will likely be more cost-effective that way).
If you feel you'd be available for a July class, you'd probably wait to interview until May. However, you can still apply and get in our system to get the process started.
Definitely apply for a BE1900 or Metro. With the hours you listed, so far you'd be qualified for one of those.
Hope that helps!
