Sounds like that base may not be around much longer.

Bases are practically more where pilots are located more than aircraft now. They have "assigned" aircraft to each base with pilots qualified on said aircraft but more often than not pilots are constantly rotating around covering trips out of the other bases.

Is there a benefit in applying for a first officer position before reaching 1200 hours? I just hit a 1000 hours as a CFI/CFII/MEI and should be at 1200 by July.

Sure, it lets them know you are interested. Keep updating as you build hours and around 1100-1150 they should call you in for an interview. The Dallas base is in the most need if you are located there or willing to move. Internal recs will certainly help too if you are around one of the bases try to meet someone.

900 hrs with a four year degree, CFI, currently full time CFI. Legally I think they could go as low as 500 for an SIC part 135.. As you said though for that experience it stands a good option.

Are you guys flying newer KA350s with the Fusion cockpit? Looked like it from a picture I saw.

Do you still have pilots flying multiple types like the KA350 as well as the Phenom 100/300 - or do pilots specialize in one type these days (i.e. just the Phenom)?

Hi,

I am currently an FO on a Beech 1900 for a Part 135 operator and possibly looking at other options. I just have a few questions:

- First, is the four year degree a hard requirement?
- Second, I'm approaching the 1200 TT mark and a majority of my time is turbine, multi engine SIC. I have very little PIC time (a little less than 200 hours), will this be competitive enough?
- Third, what aircraft are new hire pilots getting assigned?
- Finally, how many flight hours is an FO obtaining, on average, every month? Is it based on the aircraft you fly, base, etc?

Thank you in advance for answering my questions.

Tht 4 year degree is if you have less then 1200 hrs. Apply anyways and just keep updating as you get closer to 1200. How far are you away? Most likely you will be on the 100 for 6 months then dual qualified on the 100/300. If you are out of the FTW base you will fly a lot, it's the busiest base followed by the KC base. If they offer you a King Air 350 say thanks but no thanks they just don't fly that much.
