Ok ill check that one out. I have just heard that corporate jobs are very hard to come by because they require a lot of experience or you have to know someone. What are the requirements for most of the co-pilot jobs compared to regional airline requirements?

Regionals have hired guys with little as 500TT depending on if they need pilots or not but i am not sure what the norm is now.
As for corporate, don't be surprised if they want 2500TT or more, PIC time and most will want you to have a type rating just to be a co-pilot. This is probably for insurance reasons.

After you cfi for 1000 hours or so, you can get a corporate job by either:

1) Staying in general aviation, slowly building your flight time, and working the crowd for networking. Eventually somebody will hook you up.

2) Going to a regional and getting a couple years of turbine time. Regional is probably the faster route.
