Also interested in the timing from application to possible class date. One more question I have is it a forced upgrade?

There is no forced upgrade at Planesense.

Default PC-12 to PC-24

Hello Planesence -Typically how many years does it take to progress from PC-12 FO minimums to PC-12 CA? How about moving from PC-12 to the PC-24? Does a PC-12 CA go to the PC-24 as a FO or a CA? Appreciate any input as I consider if instructing for 12 months or getting a jump start in a career with a fractional. Would love to fly the Pilatus!!! See them all the time at PDK.

Once you have 1400 (need 1500 hours to take the Captain check ride) you can start the upgrade process. I know one FO who got hired with about 500 hours and started the upgrade process after 16 months.
currently you go from PC-12 FO to OC-12 Captain then PC-24 FO to PC-24 Captain

Thanks for the info tanker! Any thoughts on how many years does it take to get to the right seat on a PlaneSense jet? How about years to upgrade from there to jet CA?

Currently it is about 4-5 years to become a jet FO and then another couple of years to become a jet Captain. But that may change as they get more jets, which is the plan.

Default interested in applying

I have over 400 hours flying FO in a Saab 340 with Colgan. However,my TT is less than 750, I only carry a ME commercial, not a single. Does anyone know if Planesense has worked with someone like me to get them rated and in the right seat?

I flew with a guy there who was in your position. He had to go get a single engine add on. Probably would cost you less than $3k for the training and test. If you have a single engine private, you could probably do it for even less.
