Is B-1900 quality Captain time for a Resume?
Is B-1900 quality Captain time for a Resume? Much benefit on paper getting TurboFan PIC over Turboprop?
If I have 2600 hours Part 121 Embraer 145 SIC. And 1000 hours PIC in a B-1900 Part 121, is it considered "quality" flight time when moving on to majors? How about flying B-1900 out of FLL to Bahamas with no icing experience? How about flying out of Cleveland or Billings MT as a B-1900 PIC in wintry conditions. Any benefit over the other when it comes to a Major reviewing the Resume? How has the experience been moving onto Majors for GIA ( 3M ) and GLA ( ZK ) Captains on B-1900's ? How about a SF340B+ PIC Part 121 time with 2500 hours of Part 121 TurboFan? Thank you for sharing your experience. I am considering leaving my current employer to a Part 121 carrier hiring street Captains. |
PIC turbine is PIC turbine. I have no jet PIC nor did I fly a RJ (by choice). I have about 6500 hours in a SF340 with 1300 of that PIC.
It was good enough. The PIC turbine is great but you'll need a good network to help when a company is looking at thousands of apps and picking a few. |
If it is 121 time some majors (notably SWA) will consider you the same as an RJ captain. Others will prefer jet/glass time.
If it's not 121 time it is not quit as useful, but that goes for jet time as well. |
Is SF340 P121 time much better on the resume than a B1900 P121 in the mind of a Major airline recruiter reviewing the application?

340 and EMB 120 is good enough, but 1900 is not by this measure. |
