Everyone's advice is exactly what I was looking for and gives me some hope too! FLEX Jets might be a good option for someone like me. I thought they went with folks with much more experience, but looking at their website, I meet their min requirements. I was surprised to see they have a dispatch that looks like a Part 121 operation providing flight planning, weather, etc. They even said if the flight is scheduled so you miss a meal, one will be waiting for you in the plane. I will have to do a deeper look at them. For some reason, I'm pulled towards Part 121 ops. I like the big support system the more rigid structure. Niner, you're absolutely right about getting proficient! It's amazing how fast time fly's and I'm sure there's plenty of rust. I will get back to work on the instruments! Whatever way I go, I will definitely do a better job preparing ahead of time.
