Currently I have about 7500 hours total time, 5000 turbine, 3400 PIC turbine and a couple of type ratings (just not on corporate jets) and am sitting in the pool for a major airline so it's not that I don't have the time requirements for just about any job it's more of I've been in the 121 world for 8 yrs now and have had my fill of it. I want something more involved and more challenging than what this job offers.
Thanks for any imput or advice.
(Boiler makes a good point)
Ashcroft, If you're thinking long-range bizjet, that is going to be tough to get.. Global, G-V and Large Falcon operators want a type rating, hours in type and int'l experience, but you never know in this industry... An acquantinance of mine left Jetblue after 6 years for a Falcon 900EX job. He wanted to see the world, he went to Moscow last week
As far as medium and/or short-range bizjets, you'd eventually land a job if you keep on trying. Patience is a virtue
Executive Jet Management (part of Netjets) has hired guys without a type.
good luck
