Hey, just speaking from what I’ve read. That’s all i can go off of in responding to a comment. Did not mean to insult anyone.

Instead of starting a new thread I thought I'd just add to this one:

I'm a current 135 PIC, 30 seater turboprop, approaching 1000 TPIC, 3500 TT, Masters Degree in Aviation, no checking event failures. I did leave a regional a couple years back during training for a quick 135 upgrade and TPIC time, but no other "issues" on my resume. Though the majors would be nice, I'd be very happy with a quality LCC. Any thoughts on if the majors would be interested in my type of experience or if I would need to go to the regionals first?

There's a lot of experience on this forum and I appreciate the input. Thanks!

How much is a resume and filling out airline apps going to cost you?

I would rank order the airlines based on what matters to you and your family. Than I would start by applying at your dream airline and work my way down the list. Theoretically, you already meet the requirements pretty much anywhere. Obviously, you will be more competitive some places than others, but make your dream company say no, don’t screen yourself out.

^^^^^ good advice ^^^^^

That's all fair advice and I will be applying. I'm just wondering if in my instance 121 time would help or if I should stay my course until I get an interview call. I like my current job, I'm just ready for the next step in my career. Thanks!

To build on what I’ve already said. After you work your way through the applications (and keep them updated, it’s a chore) of the companies you would like to work for, than I would research who the companies I’d like to work for tend to hire (regional vs ACMI vs corporate/fractional) and do what you can to be that guy. Hopefully, you’ll never get that far in the process before being hired.
