Since I am a relatively low time civilian guy, (mixture 135 Safety Officer, and some 91)should I jump to an ACMI and hope to upgrade on heavy equipment in a few years or just keep building PIC where I am and then re-evaluate after I log my 1000th hour of jet PIC time? (Reason I ask is some of my non FedEx friends say even if I get interview in a few years I would not be hired without a ton of total time or some heavy time.)
DO NOT go ACMI with that. You'll be getting the same thing on a 767 AFTER upgrade at an ACMI. Your best bet is to grind out as many hours as you can. Get your 1000 PIC and then go ACMI. Upgrade times would be at least two years everywhere then you'll start getting 200 a year PIC.
