Be carefull with that "SIC" time. Most ailrines regard that as a waste of time. It's one thing if the operator has a training program and trains you. Thus you should have the appropriate knowledge. If it's a fly by night operation that only needed a second pilot to "fill a requirement" with the FAA I'd study up that aircraft before you interview. Did you actually take off & land? Or were you a glorified cruise pilot. I've worked with guys who have gone this route, I'd much rather fly with a guy who was a CFII. Core instrument/systems knowledge is a must in this industry. Granted some are good but the majority didn't gain any knowledge/experience that was of value to the Airlines needs..... except handling the radio :-D
