I haven't made it in music YET Explains why I'm here.
Hope you guys don't mind a low-timer in training asking for a little advice. Yes, I would love to be able to fly to eat and pay my rent, but I refuse to add to this whole RJ plague that seems to be taking over our industry. I have absolutely no problem staying away from 121 until I can get hired by a major, and would actually rather do it that way (instructing, 135, cargo, you know the thing). The only problem is it seems like a big catch-22 with getting hired by ANYONE, not just majors. Everyone wants huge amounts of multi time, 135 time, 121 time, turbine pic time, and so on. And it also seems like if I were to take one of these jobs that would get me that kind of time, I'm "destroying our profession" as some of you so lovingly say. And I'm not talking regionals (look under Part 91/low time to see what I mean).
So, to put it basic for everyone, WHAT DO I DO?? I want this profession preserved just as much as all of you do, so any and all suggestions for building some good time without making Mr. Cohen 30 cents richer are welcome. Thanks everyone.
