1850tt looking for a job
 
Hello!
I'm in a bit of stressfull situation where I'm starting to freak out a bit. I got 1850h tt with 600 turbine pic (c208) all my hours are skydiving ops. Only got 225 xc hours so I meet the restricted atp but the regionals seems to not call me back. My background is clean and everything so I'm just so confused! My pilot friends says my resume is solid but it might be the xc time and lack of instrument flying.

So any corporate/91/135 gigs out there? I'm on the west coast. Can move if it's a right fit.

Or anyone that can telling me to calm the f down and that everything will be fine haha!

Calm the f down, everything will be fine. Many opportunities on the west coast.

Put in some face time with your local 135s, browse the orange site, search on JSFirm or the like, etc. Go to the 135/91/Fractional/Corporate forums, pick some companies that sound appealing to you, go to their website, and apply. Your instrument hours and lack of XC may or may not play a factor, apply and find out.

I'm actually surprised you're not getting a call from regionals. But yes, I think you will get picked up somewhere if you stay persistent.

When you say regionals haven’t called you back- have you actually applied via airline apps?

Who have you applied to and how many checkride failures do you have?

Have you published your app and received a response confirming that the airlines have received your application? If not then for some reason they may not have received it and you should review it to make sure it’s complete and published and contact the vender if you’re having problems.

How much Multi-Engine time do you have? I know some places require 25-50 hours.

For 135 you won't be able to get an IFR captain spot with only 225 cross country. Regs require 500 XC time. Now that is airport to airport so hopefully you aren't just counting "over 50 mile" time. But I can see where sky dive flying will hold you down on that category.
