Default Vader. Type?

Hey Vader Jump on it,

When getting a type. Keep a few things in mind.
There's a big difference between a type you get on your commercial cert and having a type as an ATP. Mainly Insurance. Most companies in the corporate arena usually have mins of 2500TT, 500-1000multi, 500 turbine, etc. And thats just to fly as a co-pilot. Sometimes depending who you know acceptions can be made, but few and far between.

If you are in a situation that someone is paying for a FSI type jump on it. Whatever type you can get. Because the CFI, CFII and MEI you got in the bugsmashers will carry over to the jets. If you can secure a spot as a sim instructor at a place like FSI or Simuflight, it wouldn't be hard to find a job. These days everyone loves level D sim time- makes you look real legit.
