Competitive?
Am I competitive for a fractional job?
Been flying helicopter Ems since I retired in 2011 from the Army.
TT 6500
MET 1800
MET PIC 1450
INST 400 actual 65 hood
NIGHT 1500
RW 4000 plus
RW PIC 3500
SEL 550 or so
ATP MEL
Comm RW INST
Typed in BE300 and have military heavy type in BE200
I last flew King airs in 2011 been flying 135 on demand EMS since and would like to get back to fixed wing. I was an instructor pilot in both RW and FW.
Opinions? I'm tired of risking my life nightly on mostly stupid people, sad but true.

Definitely competitive as far as Time.
Personality, character, is also a big part of the recruiting process.
Not interested by the airlines? SWA, jetBlue, Spirit, Allegiant, Frontier? You have plenty time for those too.

I'd say you might be a candidate for a King Air 350 direct entry captain position at Gama / Wheels Up with those qualifications.

I have similar time and didn't make it past the application stage with NJ, but met a 1st year FO that had 3,000 hours. I suspect you could be working for Flexjet by September, and I imagine you would be plenty competitive at XO. The only issue I see is helicopter time. That could be a strike against you vs. if all your time was fixed wing.
