Total Time - 3350
Total Turbine - 2750
Turbine PIC - 1750
3 type ratings, OBAP job fair meet and greet, no degree
If I'm not in the mix now, my current job isn't expediting the process. So I figure that I have three different options. Which option would expedite my competitiveness with Spirit?
1. Part 135 PIC
2. Part 121 SIC
3. Finishing my degree by May 2019 (staying at current job while I finish)
Free advice (FWIW), I am not involved in hiring. But if you are only interested in NK I would go at least 135PIC. If you want to be more competitive for bigger and better things in general, I would go 2+3. Honestly not sure how much 4yr does for NK, I didn't have one and was 91K before, but I would still recommend 4yr for everywhere else. Also I think having only 91 time is seen as a risk for training as there is a very big variety in the amount of SOP/CRM/training.
