Welcome to APC. Please open only one thread at a time on a subject. I am leaving only this thread open, as you are a low-time pilot and this is the right forum for low time pilots to discuss things related to that. I am fairly low time too, so nothing personal.

Your going to need 1200TT for pretty much any charter outfit.

135 IFR is going to want 135 IFR mins. You'll probably be hard pressed to find a charter, 135 or corp job with your times. Insurance will probably want a lot more experience, especially if you're flying for a private owner (1,500TT, 500 in type is usually a good number to shoot for).

Best advice, keep instructing, fly skydivers or tow banners on the weekends, etc. Just do whatever you can to get your time up. The first 1,500 hours is always the hardest to get.

It's not a Cirrus position, but Pacific Wings flies Caravans under several names across the country for EAS contracts in addition to the Hawaii flying. Might be able to get on right seat or something with about 500TT.

Im just going to keep on instructing I will be eligible to do my MEI in a couple of months at my flight school that is really what I am looking forward to
