Try Cape Air. You may be able to get on as an FO and then work you way in as a Capt, once u get 1500TT. Their a great company and the expericence is really good for resume building.

I agree with many others in this thread. You best bet will probably be to get on with a 135 operator that flies twins once you have 1200 hours. AirNet, Cape Air, FlightExpress, etc... Whatever is close to you. It may not be the best pay and QOL, but do it for a year, get 300-500 hours multi PIC and move on. By that time things SHOULD be stabilized enough to be a little more choosy about where you end up working.

It could have also been that particular recruiter I talked with. I know people who have gotten on with airlines because 3 or 4 of them split a bulk 50 hour package of seminole time and double dipped with safety pilot or MEI time. They all got hired. I used safety pilot time when building for my commercial and instrument ratings.
