By marketable I guess I mean stepping up to a larger carrier. Any thoughts?
They are actually about to start a new class of 7 this coming Monday. Lynx will give you a chance with low hours. Only you know how good of a pilot you are. You have to make sure you are able to make it through Sims which is Hard Multi IFR training..."coming in on an ILS single engine down to min's, also V1 Cuts and other emergencies" and remember the Metro does not have an autopilot and the aircraft is very heavy and sluggish on the controls due to the way it was designed. Thats why you have to put $5000 up-front which goes towards your Sim Training at Flight Safety which they will pay back over your 2nd year of employment. But overall its a great job! You will fly ALOT of hours in a month, get to come home almost everynight, and its a great group of guys/gals to fly with.
