First off in this economy you would think Twin Cessnas or Caravans had type ratings, which they dont. People want specific requirements. Right now with hundreds of hours of twin cessna time one could get a job in a Twin Cessna quicker than a guy with hunderds of hours in a Caravan and vice versa.

Now lets say in a normal economy. (Not 2007-08 hiring boom)

Airline-Get about 300 ME

Corporate/135- Single Engine Turbine will get you farther. Most operators will take a guy with caravan time and 300 ME. But with 1000 ME and no turbine they dont want to trust you with their expensive jet engines. HOWEVER...lol...its a mind screw...most requirements to be an SIC in any corporate jet are around 2,000 TT and 1,000 ME.

If you are flying a Caravan and already have 1000 hours turbine...get to a piston twin asap. And vice versa.

The airlines dont matter as far as lots of turbine or lots of multi in nomral economic climates.

Corporate/135 good gigs...get 1000 ME PIC and 1000 SE Turbine PIC as fast as you can. Sure its great to get 1000 Turbine ME in one shot but that is not realistic. Once you can say you have 1000 turbine and 1000 ME you are ready to get a ME Turbine Prop or Jet job.

And make sure you understand that SIC in Piston Twins or Single Engine Turbines are not worth much. PIC is what we are talking about here.

Good luck.
