So in other words your both logging PIC on the non program flights?

 

Well I can't log SIC on the non-program flights, so if I cant log it as PIC i wouldnt be able to log it at all.

 

Aren't you guys 135? If so, why not just log it all as SIC?

 

so you are logging it as dual given or recieved? or you doing the saftey pilot hood deal?

 

their "program flights" are operated under 91K which like 135 sics can log time any non passenger flight such as repo, return, or flight training flights are flown under 91

 

I find it hard to believe you think that flying a piston is somehow below you. I think just about every hiring manager in the world would value multi-piston time higher than single engine turbine right seat time. If not hiring managers, then insurance companies certainly would look more favorably on the multi time unless you're looking for another PC-12 or Caravan job.

I've known plenty of people who have worked for Alpha and plenty who have left. Most felt the company's policies were a bit one-sided, i.e. the two year contract for poor $$$. Most of the people I know working there now would walk right out the door if a right seat jet job came along. They're happy but don't hesitate to tell me they'd walk in a heartbeat. Too many of their pilots don't have the multi-time to go to Netjets otherwise they'd have already left. Nice company for a CFI looking to build time or if you want to live in NH but otherwise a stepping stone to something better.

Mr. I.

 

Be careful, this will bite you. If you are not the PIC signing for the airplane it does not matter if you are flying or not. I know of 2 close friends that this has bitten in the past.

 

you can try rsvpair.com to find some 135 and 91 operators at the airports around you. Walk your resume in and tell them the situation with the PC-12 so maybe you can get some part time work around your schedule in a King Air 200 or up. If all the seats are in for either the 200 or 350 you can log it is a SIC with no blurry area as long as you get the checkride for part 135. Reliant air out of DXR was-maybe is- hiring pilots to fly Aerostars (so although you are stepping back to recip. at least it moves) they also use two pilots for IFR sometimes, so you might be able to build time that way, however depending where in NH you are, it's probably a considerable distance. A few months ago, Reliant had 12 planes with 12 pilots -including a Citation Jet and two king airs. Who knows? Also, New England Air flies Islanders out to Martha's vineyard and Block Island, they use two pilots for IFR and are based out of Westerly RI. Maybe work something out with them. If you network enough you might be able to keep your job and build multi time on the side. Just thoughts.

 

I wouldn't call Cape Air a "step down". You probablly wouldn't need to post a question about 'where to go from here' if you had tons of Cape Air multi time under your belt. Multi-PIC = career advancement - Single-engine turbine SIC = ? .Being a DWC grad, I know that Alpha (DWC North), is a graet place for a lot of people to make a career out of. But if you were looking for a 'stepping stone' to an airline career, you may have jumped into Alpha with too few hours of multi-time. Just my opinion. I'd say stay try to get a jet job with the multi-time you have now, but if that isn't happening, don't think you are 'above' flying pistons, because multi-piston time could really work to your advantage.
