After 8 months there, I had logged about 100 hours of multi flying with the company and was made a pilot. Total time at that point was around 600. Flew for them for 14 months and got another 900 hours of high performance multi engine. It is by far the most challenging flying job I have had and it payed well. I would recommend it for anybody looking for something that is fun and will challenge you.
