Does that sound about right? When I get the commercial, I think I'll look into getting a gig like flying mail or something like that. someone mentioned if I get offered to get a type rating, take it? Does it just happen like that? Someone just says "hey, you wanna get a type rating in this aircraft"? You all are being awesome answering all these remedial questions, so thank you!
You might want to take a look at some of the 135 Cargo haulers like Ameriflight, etc. You’ll probably build time just as fast with them, if not faster. And, it’ll be twin time, possibly turbine. It beats touch & goes in a 172 all day long.
