Not caring about moving "up" anywhere from a PC-12 job - just really want to fly those planes.

Would a Daniel Webster MBA for aviation professionals help along the way? Not with the flying, but with getting into Alpha all other things being equal.

Any idea how many FO candidates apply vs. get hired?

Meaning, if I go in the door with 1000 hrs. PIC, Commercial ASEL & IFR am I going to get laughed out because there are 3000 hour folks looking for the same seat?

Or should I just start saving my $3M now to get my own PC-12?

What's a 6 on, 4 off schedule - is that days, or weeks?

How many hours does the average Alpha FO get in a year?

Anybody have anything bad to say about the PC-12, other than the dubious value of right seat time?

Six days on, four days off.

Alpha is a great company. if you have 1000 pic and are proficient with IFR mainly jepps you should be good to go. Everyone starts out as an FO (which is loggable because an SIC is required by the certificate). Everyone is very happy and the company is moving in the right direction
