Yep, you’ll be able to sit right seat, watch me operate the autopilot 250 hours per year. You’d be better off at Cape Air, there you’d fly at least 800 hours per year. With all the flying opportunities for low timers right now you’d be better off to go the traditional route. Instructor, 135, Regional and apply directly with FedEx. It’ll take you three years less that way. You’ll also have more options if you decide freight is not for you. Not sure how other airlines will appreciate 1000 hours SIC in a 208.
