Hey CALCAPT:
I'm working on getting on with Continental (eventually). I've got my app in there, but need to work on my PIC time. I currently have about 1500 hrs. SIC in a regional jet, and I'm thinking of taking an immediate upgrade to CA in a turboprop to get the needed PIC. Or my alternative is to wait for another 10 months and upgrade in the jet. Do you think the turboprop upgrade is a good move? Will it hurt me applying to CNTNL with Turboprop PIC since I have a good number of turbojet SIC hours to complement it? Finally, do you know any CNTNL pilots looking for a golf caddy?
Take the immediate CA upgrade - no question! Additional turbojet SIC time is not what you need. 10 months of PIC time is 700 to 800 hours. In one year you may be able to move back to the jet as a captain, but you will have a great start on that very important PIC time. I would be happy to discuss the caddy issue with you if you give me a way to contact you off this forum. I can't PM you until you have 25 posts.
