Excellent point, that makes absolutely no since. I think that he is blowing hot air.

100% troll. Close the thread. I met a kid who was interviewing here a week ago and I asked him how the interview was going, and he told me he was going home because he only had 800tt and that they had screwed up and gave him an interview. There are people here who were born into Skywest (dad is check airman 20+ years) and still had to get the minimums. Why would Skywest interview this punk when they can get people with a 1000+ hours of CRJ time willing to switch over?

Maybe im reading it wrong..but whats ''40 king air as pilot rated passenger First officer time " mean?
sorry not being a d!ck just dont know if you just mean FO ?
Does that mean FO time and u have a type rating?
Im assuming its 30 multi and 40 multi turbine which makes a total of 70 multi?

a lil confused here

my first resume that made it to the SkyWest recruiter had 995tt 350 multi, 220 turbine, 100 instrument, and it got kicked back. Granted it came with a call to immediately update the resume, but all the same, it was 5 hours short of a 1000 and it wasn't good enough. I'm with the others on here that say it's a giant mistake that WILL be corrected on the day of the interview, or it's a bogus post. Incidentially there are a few that slip through the cracks and get interview without the mins, but they are sent home the minute a interview capt looks at the resume.

It sounds to me like they may have givin you an interview by mistake. Either way I would prepare tou answer questions about your lack of time. Maybe you can impress them and get another interview when you have the mins.

Maybe he's not counting the 40 hours toward anything. Like he rode along in the right seat of a King Air 90, 100, or 200 without flying it, and he wanted to reflect that experience somehow.

you guys are right
I was just logging it outside my total time in the back of an old log book I dont use anymore. It was just to show experince.

I am paid as an FO, but it is a single pilot 135 op per their opspecs, but the insurnce for the company requires two pilots that are rated in the airplane.

There for I cannot log any of the king air towards total.
So that is how and why I was doing it.

It very well my not help anything, but sure does not hurt much either.
Just as long as you dont try to lie about that the time means.
and my resume that I sent in reflects the same thing.

If insurance requires two pilots, doesn't that make you a "required" pilot, therefore allowing you to legally log SIC???

That is what I thought too.

There is a couple reasons why you cannot,

1. anytime you log time under part 135 requres a 135 checkride of some sort, whether it be day vfr pic, sic on what not.

I have not done that

Just cause insurnce requires two pilots for their policy on the airplane, that is outside the scope of the FAA of required pilot definition. The King Air 90 does not requre a type, which is no shock or secret, and it is cert for single pilot IFR.

Very little leeway to log SIC, and I do not meet any of the requirements to log SIC.

More Questions, be happy to answer

Reeves
