Cause I can't really take a fast upgrade in a 121 carrier anyway. Nothing short of two years that is.

Whaaat. I thought you didnt have to hold an ATP for a type. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you don't have to hold at ATP to be PIC at a 135. I could be wrong, but thats what I've always been told. Whats the 135 reg for that? Thanks...

I got my first type at age 20 without an ATP, but only was flying part 91.
BUT for PIC on a 135 Op
Sec. 135.4

I've talked to a few of the pilots here, and they all say that "heavy" turboprop is required. I'm not sure what the exact weight specifications are for "heavy" turboprop aircraft. If i've learned one thing, it's that you need to stay away from the feeders for that specific airline.

For what it's worth, I know of at least 3 guys hired in the last 2 years with almost nothing other than BE-1900 time, and the BE-1900 was the biggest airplane on their resume. 1 from Frontier Flying Service (AK), two from Great Lakes. That's not exactly "heavy."
