Default PTK Pilots

I know some of the guys flying out of PTK and their recent F/O class had one guy with a total time of only 207 or something and another guy with only 4.5h of multi. The bad part is the company isn't looking to hire any new guys for a while. But the possibilities are out there, don't give up and be PERSISTENT! Desire goes a long way and so does knowing somebody on the inside. Good luck!

Check out Compass Airlines out of DTW, they're a new start up and need pilots. I know Mesaba has hired pilots as low as 270tt and 70multi, too.

As for Solo Aviation... haven't heard good things. Anyplace will get you out quick and cheap if you do your own studying, and that's a lot of dedication for a check ride that almost everyone fails on the 1st try and 70% of them fail on their 2nd try also. Don't most applications ask if you've ever failed a check ride? Food for thought...
