Nice brother. I think you'll enjoy it here. I don't know how PDT is, but I'll more than likely resign from XJT when recall comes my way. It's a good gig.

Just read that Kirksville MO city council is supporting 9K for service to STL, perhaps that has something to do with the new class being pushed through? Not sure when the service would begin or the vote for that matter. Either way I'll be glad to have a few more numbers below me haha.

Hey, I don't think it's gonna work out, but if you had to choose between going to 9k and taking a right-seat part 91 jet job (privately owned Hawker), which do you feel would be most beneficial to the resume? Right now I have about 2000 hours, 1700 turbine (turboprop), and only 300 PIC... Right now my ultimate goal is to end up at a major, just not sure if one way is better than the other...

The Hawker jet gig is a no brainer... Its another type and weighs over 12500. Plus, I'm sure you'll get international experience as well. I've flown Part 91 in a King Air 350 and miss it dearly.

It’s very difficult to get PIC turbine time at 9k.

I think it depends on how good the Hawker gig is. Lots of guys move from 9K into that kind of job, so it could be a great step for you.

That said, there's always the opportunity at some point to go to the ATR in Guam. At this point in time, the most junior ATR CA has a bit over 3 years on property. That's what I'm waiting for personally, but I'm kind of stuck because with almost 2 years in with this company, it's better for me to wait for that than bail and go somewhere else for the TPIC. If you could get some jet PIC sooner than that, I think you have your answer.
