I'm currently working for an aerial survey company. My contract will end in June and I will be flying Aztecs until then from the looks of it. I should be close to the 800 TT. I'm debating on signing another contract or trying to get on with Ameriflight. I have a wife and 3 kids so the QOL would be better in cargo.
Current times:
TT: 480.2
ME: 211.4
PIC: 377.2
Night: 146.3
Instrument: 66.2
CC: 149.6
Solo: 93.2
You must live 1.5 hours or less from a base (unless you are home-based of course).
If you're coming in at 800TT, you'd come in as an ACP FO. With that, you wouldn't be assigned to a specific base until you become a Captain. Chances of getting DFW are pretty good. We currently have two BE99 Captain openings in DFW - they are up for grabs by anyone and have already been reviewed and not selected by our current pilots.
