Edit: Also, what is the minimum ME time I would need (considering my other experience) to be direct hire for the Metro\1900.
Again, thanks for the time.
If you were to come in as a BE99 Captain at the hours you have currently, it would take 4-6 months for you to transition to the BE1900 or Metro. (That's the amount of time it would take for you to gain the multi needed and get into a 1900/Metro class.)
If you came in as a BE99 Captain, you would not be eligible for the 1900/Metro bonuses. You would still get the 20% Turbine bonuses for the 1900/Metro and all other applicable bonuses (like Peak to Peak).
You would be considered for a Direct-Entry 1900 or Metro Captain position with as little as 150ME.
Hope that helps!
