If you and a buddy split time in a Seminole with one of you under the hood and the other acting as safety pilot, can the safety pilot time be counted toward your multi-engine total (as far as airline mins go)?

Legally yes. Just make sure you log it correctly...the safety pilot cannot log PIC while the hood pilot is taxiing, taking off, or landing! Subtracting 0.3 VMC per leg is the standard practice.

I have heard of a few airlines being less-than-excited about SP time, but I have no hard facts on that.

I could see where they could frown on that,

I think a bunch of sp time in there would be obvious to the airline on what you were doing,
I could be wrong here, but I thought that airlines wanted the time not because of time, but for experince, you need to have good time to have a good experince.
sp would just be there look at the world go by.

Well I guess I will talk to everyone in other threads, I could not imangine that there is much interest in this thread anymore.

Thanks for everyones help good and bad, I had a good time.
See ya around

reeves

I don't want to derail the orignal poster thread (good luck to you btw reeves).. but I just put in an app on-line and left a voice mail for Cassidy (would love to email her my resume, but don't have her email)..

I've got 4530TT, 1830 Turbine PIC (121/135) and 3700 multiengine.. Flew ATR captain at ASA, and CRJ/E120 FO as well as Citations under FAR135.. the catch? I've not flown in 2 years.. I did however do a recurrent about a year ago in the Citation X..

Do you think I have a chance?

edit: Well it wasn't hard, I called Skywest corporate offices and they gave me Cassidys' email, so we'll see..

CE750
goto pilotjob.com and look at skywest and look at the contact email listed there
and in the subject line put ATTN: Camille or cassady
Either one works just as well

That is what I did
and thanks for the good luck

Reeves

thanks Reeves, I just talked to a friend of mine (who's a new hire at SkyWest) and got the email as well as the phone to Jeff Curry.. he also recommended I email Camille.

Crossing fingers for both of us..

If you can get it all worked out, I am going down there on Dec 1st and be in SLC the afternoon before.
I would be happy see you there

Reeves

I called a buddy of mine who is an IOE captain on the Brasillia, and just upgraded on the jet a few months ago. He spoke to Camille and she said that they were hiring under the minimums if you had done an RJ trainins course like the one at MESA or if you went to the flight school run by one of the CEO's nephews, and got a recommendation. Other than that he said its 1000/100. reeves, did you do one of those RJ courses? Either way you are a lucky man.

well that makes a little more sense on why I got an interveiw.

We went up to our campus this summer and took a 25 ground school CBT on the CRJ 200 FMS and 8 hrs of hands on honeywell FMS systems with a cert of completion from our university.
it was administered by one of our profs and a captian with United Airlines

BTW Reeves.. don't feel guilty about having 600 and getting an intervew.. When I was hired (the first airline job I got) by ASA back in 1997, I was at 980TT, in my class was a bunch of 600-800 new-hires. It's all supply/demand. In the end, these are entry level positions (in my case, re-entry).. and in a matter of a year of flying the line under the guidance of experienced captains you'll get very comfortable.

Let's all just be thankful that the tide seems to be turning.. the majors are all recalling, and there is rumor of street hiring there in the next year or so.. It's about time!
