3600ish TT mostly part 135 no 121
2 Jet PIC types
2,000 Turbine, 420 jet, rest is turboprop
600 TPIC all turboprop
Currently flying single pilot king air with a superviser role (not CP)
No Degree, one year of college then dropped out to fly full time- already had all my ratings and at the time and the pilot market was great so I went straight into 135
Employment history is my biggest hold up. First big screw up was 2.5 years ago at an imfamously scetchy 135 shop. Was working 28 days a month and was asked to come fly on my 2 scheduled days off that month and declined. Was threatened by the DO twice that I would be fired if I didnt, and on the second time he said maybe I should resign if i can't come in and at that point I had enough so I did. HR accepted my immediate resignation but the following day I received an email that my resignation was declined and I was terminated. They put it on my PRD as such. I was an at will employee and this was illegal but my lawyer said theres pretty much nothing they can do about it. Next screw up was 100% my fault- 1.5 years ago I was employed as a charter pilot for only 9 months for a small company then quit. I was commuting coast-to-coast and the 'quick' upgrade I was promised was clearly not happening so I bailed for a PIC job. I know pretty much all I can do at this point is build consistent employment history and be a star employee and hope for a good hiring wave.
TIA
No....filler.
The post Covid fight for warm bodies is over. If you got in with stats like that before consider yourself lucky. Finish your degree, fly 121, and then get into the pool with thousands of others that have similar credentials and don't have the cobwebs in their history.
