How bad would it look...
So I have a class date with Endeavor in June, and am a 1500 hour CFI. I have an offer to fly King Air's for a local 135, who have a training contract. I realize I should probably just teach for 6 more months, but how bad would it look on a resume/professionally if I flew for 6 months, then left to go to a regional? I also have an interview scheduled with NetJets but am going to put that off until I give 121 life. shot, I think.
Thanks!
Thanks!

You’d do better just to do 6 months of CFI work rather than get a bad recommendation or legal issues from the 135 job. While twin turbine time would certainly be nice, you’ll get that at Endeavor. Don’t screw up a good thing by getting greedy.

If they hire you and train you with the assumption they are going to have you for a few years, that could be a problem.

The 135 said they would "work with me" if I needed to depart early (re: contract), but who actually knows what that means haha. They initially type you SIC, but after 90 days you go PIC I guess and get the ATP - which obviously adds to the contract amount with two trips to FSI. So the Spirit route could be interesting, actually.

How long is your initial training? You mention they start you out as SIC then 90 days later upgrade into PIC. If all you are looking at for your timeline is 6 months, it is quite possible you spend half of that in training, only to then go spend another 3 months in training at Endeavor. That's a lot of time spent in training mode with not much reward.

Is this really happening? Are they taking newly minted ATPs off the street without doing time at the regionals? Or is this only a deal with ATP flight school?
