Thanks for the response. Yes, those are the mins. I see what is currently listed but have seen job postings before at .243(b) numbers and not the 750TT. I know ABQ doesn't fly many PA-31 anymore but wondered why the lower minimums have shown up before and if there is any trigger to watch for them in the future or if that is even within the art of the possible in the current environment.

Light pole?
Ran into a light pole on taxi. Anybody know anything about this? Just curious.

Just on the phone and occasionally video if the recruiter feels like they need to see the candidate.
Hope that helps!

DFW
How close does someone have to live to a base? Also, what are the chances of getting DFW area out of training?
I'm currently working for an aerial survey company. My contract will end in June and I will be flying Aztecs until then from the looks of it. I should be close to the 800 TT. I'm debating on signing another contract or trying to get on with Ameriflight. I have a wife and 3 kids so the QOL would be better in cargo.
Current times:
TT: 480.2
ME: 211.4
PIC: 377.2
Night: 146.3
Instrument: 66.2
CC: 149.6
Solo: 93.2

If you're coming in at 800TT, you'd come in as an ACP FO. With that, you wouldn't be assigned to a specific base until you become a Captain. Chances of getting DFW are pretty good. We currently have two BE99 Captain openings in DFW - they are up for grabs by anyone and have already been reviewed and not selected by our current pilots.

Home Based Captain
I am currently at a 121 regional and really interesting in flying cargo and home basing! What kind of flight times are competitive for a direct entry captain? Also, if anyone could clarify the details. The job postings say the schedule is 1/2 then 2/2 (weeks on/weeks off), however, several recruiting videos I have found say it is 18/12 days on/off. My background:
2050 TOTAL
1100 Mil R/W
775 PIC
660 ME turboprop (pt 121)
