I look at the Ashley Furniture SIC reqs Vs. the Kenmore Air Req's for SIC....
so you have a point RedGuy but I'd rather get on with someone like Ashley Furniture Fleet or one of those bigger guys than some piston pounders personally
Look into on demand cargo. Most are hiring guys with very low time for the right seat. I started out that way with only 900hrs, and I now have co-pilots that have hired in with LESS than 250hrs (141 student). IMO it's really a better way to gain experience than to flight instruct til you get 1,200hrs then jump right into flying a high performance twin in hard IFR by yourself.
