I'm looking to be able to be hired at a LCC in a few years. I'm flying heavies right now but will still have under a 1000 hrs FW time after this tour. I'm considering buying a cheap GA plane (C150/2) to possibly build a couple hundred more hours to get me over the 1000+ hump. I'm not interested in flying banners, jump, or CFI type gigs on the side. Not seeking to jump straight to one of the top tier guys but would like to skip the regionals. Would these recreational hours be a waste of time in trying to get hired at a low-tier major/LCC?
