Do some homework on the company, pilot group, management and maintenance before you climb aboard. I didn't do that, and I learned a valuable lesson in ethics.
Try Air Cargo Carriers. I am a new F/O for them. It is a long way from glorious. But it gets your low time up to competitive. I got hired in Dec with 421TT and 26ME. Today I have 533TT and 138ME. I have now have interviews scheduled with regionals and a major. What BoilerWings says is correct, but just to add to it at ACC you can log ME Turbine and make captain when you reach 1200TT. Its not for everyone, I am trying to get out, but I wouldnt have received this opportunity if I didnt take ACC's offer.
