I like your thought process, and if given the opportunity, I will ask about doing the PIC type instead of a SIC.
My total time is just over 750 with about 36 multi. All in the Dutchess and KingAir.
It all dosent matter though if I can't get the job, but I am pretty sure I will. And I totally agree about the QOL being better than the Regionals. As it stands right now, I can't even meet their mins anyway.
Thanks
Hi, I have about 1000 hours and 70 multi and I'm in the same situation. They're offering me a job in the Lear but I'd have to go get my own type rating. I don't know if I should take that or buy more hours in a twin and then apply to work in Colgan.
