Man, for a guy in my position, that would be a sweet way to start out - were you happy with your decision to do that or would you have taken a different route? What is the company you work for? and you are right about it being tougher for somone to jump into hard IFR with an HP twin - bemidji airlines is a cargo 121 single pilot op. flying Queen Airs/Beech 99's all over the MN region and they all have over 1200 Min, but came in with experience like what you are doing - with 2 man crew

I'll finish by saying that I'd rather have that 2 man crew with better experience like you say then CFI and gain the hrs. Thanks for the good outlook on that
