Anyone with any ideas? I don't have a CFI so that is out at least for now.
Stay put.... if you're at a common regional, you're only about 2 years from the left seat anyway and at 1000 hrs/yr. you'll be right on track for that frac job in about 3 years. Sounds like an eternity away, but you need to build the time, there is no way around that and you need the upgrade for PIC time, no way around that, either. Like previously posted, you are extremely lucky to be in the position you're in, not having to pay any CFI dues, so don't sweat it. Get the experience at the regional, not in some friend's Baron boring holes in the sky and going into debt just to build PIC time.... the fracs could care less about that kind of time anyway. Good luck.
