Feeling very lucky to have this job. Logged another 80hrs last month, 35+ approaches, 60+ landings. Hard work and long days, but I'm having fun and getting paid good money to do it!
I wish I could get everyone a slot up here.

Hello to everyone, new guy on the forum. I'm in a good job now but love everything aviation and looking for something to supplement retirement in the near future. About to start training for IFR and CPL. I think I'd be content with, and enjoy flying 207. But, say a guy flies a 207 with Hageland for a handful of years and then wants to move over to a Caravan, do you loose all of your Captain pay to sit right seat in the Caravan until you can get in as a Caravan Captain?
Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm not all that familiar with aviation as a business/career. Any insight would be appreciated!

Right seat 208
Right seat 1900 (if you have a multi ticket)
Left seat 207
Left seat 208
Plenty of people stop there, but if you have a multi ticket they'll probably eventually want you to have your ATP so they can dual qual you in a Navajo.
No idea how long it takes to get into a 1900 left seat right now, but probably a while.

Nope- The progression goes:
Right seat 208
Right seat 1900 (if you have a multi ticket)
Left seat 207

I can almost guarantee that they will put you directly into a sled if you apply with sled time and over 1000 TT.
They're upgrading some guys into it as low as 750 right now, but that's obviously a lot easier than doing it off the street.
In my ground school last year I think one street sled driver was around 1400 or so? I had 2500 with a year and a winter of AK experience and my ATP scheduled the week after training and I still went into a sled instead of a van to start lmao.
So it's a bit hit or miss.
