How much is too much?
Every now and again I'll get an opportunity to ride along right seat in a king air and work the radios and get a chance to fly a deadhead leg. The guy I fly with is a current MEI so I log the flight dual received and no PIC, even though I'm MEL rated on my commercial cert. So far I have about 13 hours of king air time. If I'm getting ready to send out resumes and prep for interviews, should I be concerned with technical questions over the king air if I continue to build dual received? The majority of my MEL time is in a seminole.

If you're logging the time, you should be prepared to answer questions about the systems in the aircraft. 13 hours is more than enough to make it fair game. Anything beyond about 5 hours would make something open for questioning if you ask me. Better get yourself a king air systems book and at least read up a bit on it.

If you have flown multiple airplanes recently, most interviewers will select the one which you obviously fly the most, or let you pick the one to talk about. But you never know...
