Once you hit 1000 hours, you will train as a BE99 captain. You will be a Restricted IFR captain, meaning you can fly IFR, but your departure and arrival minimums will be higher than normal (close to VFR.) From here until you hit 1200 hours TT and become an unrestricted IFR captain we will still TDY you (probably to PHX where the weather is good.) Once you hit 1200, you would relocate to your permanent base and continue your career from there.
Thanks for that info appreciate it!
