Helicopters to Regionals
 
Interested in hearing anyone who has, is currently, or has seen anybody make this transition.

I'm a 1500 hour commercial instrument helicopter pilot currently getting the CMEL Instrument done, will just be a few short of the 250 Fixed Wing PIC required for ATP.

All other hour requirements are met.

Note: I'm not a military pilot and therefor don't qualify for R-ATP

I have a friend who did that. As long as you have a pulse and a clean criminal history, you're hired!

Btw, you can get the restricted ATP at 750TT since you are military.

I was NOT a pilot in the military. But it doesn't matter, my total time covers all the reqs
