Just received a response from recruiting and must have the times at application time, so I will be resubmitting next month.

The night and instrument times are pretty hard because they are required by FAR135 for IFR captains (which we intend for our FOs to become at some point) and we really can't control how quickly you can get those here. It is really difficult to get night time during the spring-summer months because of DST and scheduled run times.

Got it. Yeah it’s hard to get night period. I will be 50hrs short of night but will have everything else plus vfr pic 135.

What are the requirements to be hired as a FO? I know a young guy who's recently got his CPL/IR/MEL and a little over 250 hours.

I was looking at the BE99 job opening requirements saying 150 hours multi. I thought I had previously seen it was 50 hours. Was this a change in multi required or maybe I am remembering incorrectly?

I have 1800 total time 50 hours multi time. I need a few more hours of night but otherwise I have the required hours.

Thanks

They hired me into the 99 with 74 hours of multi time, back in 2015. That's a few years ago but I'd be surprised if they are able to be even pickier now...

Minimum TT is 500 hours. The complete numbers are on this thread if you look back a couple of pages. Its a very common question.

Yeah, what LRSRanger said. I think that is probably a misprint.

Yeah I was surprised also by increased numbers in the current environment. All of the BE 99 openings I looked at said150 hours multi but copy paste from one listing to another would do that easily.
