The only airline that had 121 PIC requirement was Airtran. On the other hand, I know guys at SWA who went there from Ameriflight flying Metros.

Turbine PIC is all it's about at this point in your career if majors are your thing.

FWIW -

Went from TPIC at a Willow Run Freight operation to NWA in '01 with 5000TT, 1200 TPIC - so it does, and can happen. I know a bunch of guys who came from the 135/corporate crowd directly to a major.

My .02 - stay where you are and get that TPIC time:cool:

PM me if you'd like

Like the name says....

I'm finding that they also want 121 or 135 currency as I'm having difficulty getting the phone to ring being out of this biz for so long, with 5000 TPIC I think that currency will work.

Stay where you are and upgrade. Pay off as much debt as you can.

I'd be happy to trade you my current 121 5th year FO pay and zero upgrade in sight situation for yours, PM me if interested!

Here's another vote for staying where you're at. TPIC is the key.
