I think passing up on an upgrade to a PIC position when your resume lacks PIC experience it isn't the best idea. There's all kinds of 135 operators. Now, if you're flying 135 in a caravan or a twin piston then yes, I can see that time being viewed as 121 FO time but... 121 FO's are being hired with the majors and many have 0 PIC. |
FWIW,
I've got 5500tt, 2500 TPIC, all in a King Air 200, all part 135, and the majors are not calling me. |

A friend of mine flew 1900s at Gulfstream for a couple of years, he left to fly bizjets for a bunch more years, all short or medium range. Tons of PIC time he got. He got on with United last year. Moral of the story is I don't know what this proves other than he did it with some 121 PIC time on his resume.

The whole "recruiter's view of 135 PIC time equal to 121 FO time". Come on man.

The point I made was both are viable paths to the Majors to counter the argument being made that the 135 PIC time would be worthless and the guy would be better off skipping upgrade to be a FO at a 121 regional and never having any PIC time. |

I'm currently flying right seat in a beech 1900 in Alaska. I have 1400tt and the chief just offered to upgrade me in the spring. Should I stay and upgrade or go to the regionals? Is Beech 1900 PIC time respected by the majors?
