Reentry Plan
Past Experience: CL 65 SIC COmair
EMB 145 FO Chautauqua
2700TT 1700 jet SIC
last jet flight 6/2010
60 hours in the past year C172
Commercial pilot.
Do I get my ATP and try to get on with jetblue or go back to a regional to get jet current and wait for upgrade?

I'd try to get my ATP to get it. I don't think (could be wrong) JB is going to look favorably upon not being current. (by current I mean not in a 172, actually flying Turbine equipment somewhere.) I've heard Eagle may be doing pretty well for a while? May be your best best at a slightly better regional.

I'm certainly not on the hiring board, and I'm not trying to be rude, but with that experience I'd be shocked if you had any chance of getting on with jetBlue. There are too many folks out there with tons of jet PIC trying to get hired. I'd focus on securing some of that.

If I was in your shoes I'd be beating down doors for some cargo operator with single pilot twin turbine time. You'd get hired there and that could propel you past the regionals rather than starting over there. Not to mention you'll make more money at cargo than SIC at a regional.

Unfortunately, from his other posts, he is unwilling to do that and just wants to leap frog everyone and make his way to a mainline. Apparently, earning one's stripes is below him.

Thought the mins at Gojet were 4500 for DEC? If you only have 2700, how you gonna get any PIC. Does Gojets not have enough Fo's with the times to upgrade? Dont listen to the CP at Gojets, they need pilots, not Capts!
