Thanks for the kind words Tweet. What about other avenues? When I first started flying back in 1992, I was a lowly Private and the money ran out way before any ratings came. I used to wash aircraft on the weekends for flight time. Seeing as I have an A&P, I have heard of people turning wrench hours into flight hours but have never met anyone who has done it.

what else should I focus on? will an A&P, masters degree, IA and military experience make me more marketable in aviation?

I saw an ad from Dynamic Aviation the other day, they were advertising for King Air pilots with their A&P licenses. How common are jobs like these? Sounded like something I would be interested in, travel, benefits, independence, etc...

How does someone "get" experience in a King Air? Once I nail down all my ratings, it's not like I go to the FBO and rent one, I doubt I could afford a full bag of gas for the thing. Forgive my ignorance on the matter but my resources are currently pretty limited.
