Would it be better for me to build my hours by flying for a regional airline, or to continue as a flight instructor.
My career goal is to fly for the majors, but I wasn't sure if that meant that I had to fly regional airlines or not. I wasn't sure if the airlines only look at total hours (continuing as a flight instructor) or if they wanted pilots that came from a regional airline that are more familiar with the operations of a major airline?
Clear as mud???
JR,
You could also look at some of the ACMI carriers such as Kellita or Cargo 360 I don't know what your resume' looks like but I know that you would be also gaining the experience for international flying and heavy time. Big +++ with the majors. Question is, what is a major anymore? UPS and FedEx are top dog now vs AMR, UAL ect...
