Sabb, you talk about alot of stuff, and put others down, yet now it looks like you have "faked" some time. Nice. I hope someone knows who this clown is, and CHECKS and VERIFIES his logs before his intial ride tomorrow!
Back to the subject. I got hired on at Colgan back in '99. First 121 to offer me a job (Eagle did, then didn't...long story). So I went with the attitude that I go, work, build time get out.
Upgraded in 6 months, checkairman 6 months later, Saab type 12 months...
So in two years, I had two types, over 1000 PIC turbine, and checkairman experience. Got on with Spirit. (9-11 happened, so I got stuck here for a little.) Waiting on SWA decision, and then trying CAL.
Go and build time if it's the only one offering. IT IS better than instructing.
Other factors: commutin wasn't that easy, so I didn't. Days off wasn't a big thing. MORE TIME!
If you have to wait for upgrade, who cares. Get some 121 turbine experience, if you hate it there, get out after the contract, and re-apply to someone else. The same wait if you stay instructing, yet you are getting 121 time.
