Just as an example, can get hired at Ameriflight at 1200TT with only Cesssna hours under your belt and starting building turbine PIC at 1200TT because of single pilot ops. 1200TPIC at Ameriflight and you are at United. Not a guaranteed interview or not even flow. You are guaranteed an actual class date contractually within 4 months of hitting 1200TPIC at Ameriflight. Also applies to other Aviate partners but probably fastest at the part 135s because you don’t need the 1000 hours to upgrade.
To get 1,200 TPIC at JSX, one would have to upgrade in the ERJ, and then fly for 3-4 years. We only get 300-400 hours a year here. Meanwhile, with 750 hours in the 145 and 1,500 total, I could get on with Delta. Go figure.
