Life Changing Dilemma
#31
My heart is not really into the airlines which is the reason why I am even considering saying no to Trans States. I really want to do corporate or fly for a fractional. I don't like the idea of being away from home as much as the airlines require. And I really don't like the pay that the regional pilots get for the first couple years.
You will also need an internal recomendation (like any pilot job), so be sure to network. Every flying job I've ever had was the result of someone recomending me.

You can't believe you haven't gotten a call in 2 months since you have 500 hours? I have news for you....there are a lot more pilots more qualified than you still. 500 hours is nothing. Take the TSA job and get the experience. As a side note, nobody should get on with an airline at 250 hours!

That being said, since you have the opportunity for the 121 experience, take it. The 145 is a great airplane, easy to learn, and by studying, you'll make it through ground school. As far as the sim, just study the flows hard. 6 weeks worth of studying will pay off in the end!
