and paying off debt? My CFI position didn't pay $22.75/hr, nor did i get jumpseat privileges on airlines of my choosing
Do you know of some airlines that have requirements for 121 time or something? When I was applying to regionals I don't remember seeing 121 time listed in any airlines requirements. If I am missing something I would appreciate it being pointed out to me because somehow I slipped through the cracks and got offers at 3 airlines with 0 hours 121 time.
I do however know of some airlines that have PIC requirements. PIC time makes you marketable anywhere beyond the fact that it makes you a better pilot. I would take the 1000 hours PIC in a 172 or a Seminole over 1000 hours in the right seat and a lateral move ANY day. But I guess you kids with 250 hours who would sucker punch a nun to fly a jet know better than those of us actually in the industry with a couple thousand hours
