Any fractional companies count rotor time?
Looking at some of the profiles for NetJets etc...they all have a total time req, but none specify of that has to be all FW time or not. I thought I'd ask here before I sent each one an email, and hope for a response. Thanks

There's a ton of Ft. Rucker alumni at Netjets
Hey BadTransAm,
There's a ton of Ft. Rucker graduates flying for Netjets, including some pretty high up in NJASAP if I recall. I would network with them if you are a Army Aviator, or even a "rotor head" period.
And in the mean time, if you need to build more fixed-wing time, many air ambulance companies have the Netjets-style 7 on/7 off schedule and have both fixed and rotor wing aircraft at the same base. Along with starting pay in the $70,000 range. I know some places will allow pilots to be checked out in both fixed and rotor wing.
Good luck..

Thanks guys! I appreciate the info. I'll see what I can come up with. Looking at regionals as well, since they don't care where my time comes from lol! Would love to land a "home based" gig, or maybe eventually a major gig with a decent commute.
