I've got 900 hours (GA flying) and will be finishing up my ratings this fall, should be around 1000 hours. I had been planning on building TT/instrument experience up in Alaska to get me to the Regionals.
Don't know how i did it, but a networking type opportunity might have just dropped in my lap flying for a high net worth family. They have a Lear and a Falcon 900. I have a close friend who's father has flown for the family for 30+ years with retire with them for sure. By all accounts its a good gig. They traditionally would want an ATP in the right seat, but times "are a changing" according to the source. Really struggling to find a FO that can stay and can also fit the culture.
My first reaction was "insurance?!?", but i'm told that it's not a barrier for the right candidate. Main thing I wanted to ask you guys is, with a 135 (or part 91)...what's reasonable to expect for training duration? Flying in an operation like that seems like it would be a huge leap for me and i don't want to be set up for failure. I know the regionals put you through school for at least two months...what would something like this need to be realistically?
Thanks in advance
