I maybe living under a rock but that seems insane to me!! Its legal time flying the plane...
I use to have tons of people tell me flying jumpers would never get me a job at an airline, and that airlines hate it etc, it was worthless time. Well 900 hours/14 months later I got interviews at 5 regional's and offers from 4. Needless to say, most of those people are still CFIing and never got the ME time for a regional interview.

I felt it was easy in the sense putting in crosswind techniques and lining it up straight, almost felt like a giant 172 in that sense. What I found interesting about the airplane was once you touched down, it loved to dance around after you put the props into reverse, with the added combo having a high wing, trailing link gear, and lots of rudder input to keep it on centerline, it made you work hard for a good landing.
DayTripper12, I'm not referring only to Eagle, there have been quite a few that have gone down/had incidents due to icing conditions, don't quote me though.

I flew pipeline for a year up in WF. That was 600hrs worth. No issues when I interviewed.

QUESTION!
If a pilot has long term training the 13th, or 14th..does that pilot still get to bid for a monthly schedule of his soon to be former equipment?
for example DFA awarded DFE...does he/she get to bid for Feb on the ATR, even though they're leaving halfway through the month? Is there a date cutoff?
What about a guy starting EARLY in the month? (first week)
can't find it in the contract..hoping someone here knows!

Just be yourself and dont try to put on a show. They can see through the BS, if you dont know the answer to a question just say "I dont know, but I know where I can find the answer" and find the answer. Good luck!
