Cargo or regionals
I would love to work at the fractionals.... i meet the 135 times, so the question is: What makes me more marketable, getting time/experience working for the regionals, or someone like Ameriflight? How did you guys working for the fractionals get your experience? Thanks!

People are hired from every which part of the spectrum. Take whatever job gets you the experience quickest, unless it will be close between 2 jobs, then take the better pay between the two. You will have to serve your time one way or another to get to the job you want so you just need to decide how you want to serve that time. I'd suggest getting some turbine time, but it won't matter if it was 135 or 121. Good luck.

The important thing is the turbine experience, you will need that. The majors and/or Fracs like NJ, CS or FX need to know you have the ability to complete training on something complex like an RJ, Lear Jet, or Citation. If you go to Ameriflight, just make sure you get into a turbo prop ASAP, jet would be best.
my two cents
