I need advice from a Regional Pilot
Currently I'm a student at Delta Connection finishing up my commercial rating. The concern I have is that the training at DCA goes so slow and I spend so much so I don't think doing my multi or my CFI there is a good idea. I've talked to ALL ATP and I'm interested in their CFI program because its much shorter. One of the questions I have is, if I leave DCA and go to ALL ATP and get about 300 or 400 hours dual given to get me up to 500-600tt, how tough would it be to get a job with the regionals that hire with those mins. Any thoughts, please let me know thanks.

It sounds like a good plan, but stick with the CFI a little longer until you get 1000.

yea I'm goin part 61, I'm gonna take the 141 road all the way. with my age being 20, it would be hard enough to get a job if I didn't do the CFI deal. I guess its not bad to do 500tt then send in a resume, if you don't get the job, do it again at 600. Would that look bad?

The nice thing about the ALL ATP cfi program is that when you are finished you can instruct for them. 90% of your dual given will be multi time, so when you hit 1000TT you will have way over 500 multi, which will look good for the regionals.

1) It shows interest
2) They might get in a bind and call you at 700 hours, it has happened.

Just over 700TT and under 100ME. Anything is possible if you try hard.
