BUT...there is a but. Management has zero problems with PFT and would see your 200 hours of paid for SIC turbine time and hire you without reservations.

I suppose the only problem you would run into would be respect. PFT is very looked down upon by 98% of all pilots in the industry who worked their way up from the bottom by whatever means they could. You would not have the respect of any pilots that you would work with for many years for come.

If you did not have a problem with that and had 20K to spare for some SIC time, you would stand a chance at getting hired.
