I've gone through some of the 280+ pages of this thread. Trying to understand how the 8/6 schedule works for a SIC in a remote city. My domicile would be PHL since it is 30 minutes from home.
How often might I be starting/ending 8 day trips at my own domicile without having to airline commute?
I'm now closer to 1400TT and would obviously hit 1500 pretty quick once I started flying. Since I would be fairly new to the PC12 at that point, when would one expect Captain upgrade to occur? At what point would they offer ATP-CTP?
PHL base will usually airline day 1 and 8, but that's not a given. You might luck out and get some planes coming through the PHL area. Meaning you could get a rental car to drive to LOM or PNE, or even hitch a ride in the back of a PS aircraft. You just never know.
Captain upgrade will really depend on you. If you come and pick up our operation really quick and decide you're ready, put in for it. Once you have the 1500 hrs I'd say the company is looking at you to upgrade shortly after. Right now, when people are ready, they are given the chance.
Your ATP course will be just before your upgrade into the jet, so you'd have at least 3+ years at this point before that happens.
