But, since I was lucky and hired with fairly low time, I have logged 300 hours 135 PIC, 250 of those are at night. Would it be worth more to hiring departments to continue to accumulate 135 PIC time, or head back to instructing to attempt to find multi and X-C time.
Any advice is appreciated,
KAT3,
Based on your post, I would recommend jumping into a ME airplane and building time. The 135 time will serve you well in addition to building ME time. I’m not sure what the limitations are of your 135 job, but if possible, try and accomplish both at the same time (keep your 135 job and accumulate ME time). Best of luck.
