Checking another type rating on an app is a plus.
Getting turbine time, MEL land time and TPIC time is a plus on an app.
I don't remember seeing a box on any application that said "Shiny new jet time".
it’s a different time. If they are young with 121 time they will look attractive to bigger airlines because they have them for a longer duration of time career wise. Pilots are in short supply worldwide. If xjt can’t get the pay rates up folk will walk to higher pay rates. I enjoy being here and got the upgrade so the struggle as tough as before but for a new hire what will keep them interested on coming here?
