Here's a post about the 23 yo -
"I've flown with him several times and he's probably the best FO I've flown with. King Air CA before he was 20, graduated with a 4 year degree in 3 years while also flying a ton. Great guy and I'm very happy to see him moving on to bigger and better things." |

I know AA and other majors are hiring off the street now. Is there really any chance of being hired off the street? Currently 135 with many years of experience. Cant afford to take pay cut to go to regionals at this point. Around 2500 TT almost 1000 Turbine (Mostly PC-12) Training Captain experience.

How much total multi-engine time do you have?

What is "many years"? Almost 2500? How much lower? Almost 1000 turbine? How much isn't PC-12? How much is TPIC? How much is in a two man aircraft? Training Captain experience? Where? 135? What type a/c? |

Sitting at 2465, I was little high on Turbine. I'm actually at abut 785 about 110 isn't PC-12. Only about 45 is Multi Turbine. Training Captain in the PC-12. 135 Company Instructor. Training new pilots, and complete 6 month recurrent for the rest of our crew. All my turbine time is in a crew environment. |

So you think at 45hrs multi turbine you are qualified to fly at the majors? Maybe a regional job is what you need to be looking at. Most new hires are 8000 hrs plus with 5-15 years 121. Don't waste another second flying a single engine a/c if you want to fly at the big 3. Go to a wholly owned airline and start logging 121 multi jet turbine. Worst case is you flow to American Airlines in 6-12 years. |

Thanks Guys.
I figured the lack of jet time would be the kicker. I'm trying to make that happen now. Maybe a year or two and 600 Jet time will put me over the edge. I appreciate the insight. |
