Does anyone think I'm hampered by having only 75multi vs. the 100multi some regionals require? That would also factor into my decision.
As long as you show up with an eager smile to be enslaved, you're in. |

A little background info:
-Flight Safety CFI grad -Age:29 -no 4 year college degree (tho I plan on completing this) -not married/no kids King Air job is: -based in Stuart,FL (30 min drive from home) -doesn't pay particularly well I ask virtually every pilot I come in contact with their opinion and ultimately they lean towards 121. I hear a lot of "now's the time to get in", and "if I was ur age with that time I would go for airline". Also, I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on seniority not applying now. |

Go to a regional and work on your degree while you wait to upgrade. King Air TPIC and a HS diploma is not going to get you hired at a top-tier major. I'm not sure about some of the second tiers, that might be in the cards if that would work for you.

Last I heard i thought Compass required a 4 year degree.

It's preferred not required.

Be very very careful of the small operators flying from FL to the Islands. Not all operators are reputable and not everything that comes on board in the cargo or otherwise on the plane, MAY be eligible to be brought in to the US..... Many people have been burnt by the charm of Caribbean flying. Don't be another statistic... Be careful & choose wisely.... Best of luck in whatever you decide... |
Is the pay better or worse than a regional? I ask because the location caught my attention. If you prefer to discuss via PM, just let me know.

Thanks for the info. If you decide not to take the job, and they are looking for other pilots, I wouldn't mind finding out more info from you.
As mentioned before, the location was appealing to me. Looking for currency after I apply for the majors. Though I am not discounting the regionals at all, I like to consider all options that involve flying in South Florida. |
If your goal is the majors, go to a regional. You'll end up going there anyway. Source: king air pilot turned regional pilot.
