What would look better on an airline resume: T-1 or T-44 (Beech 400 or King Air C90)????? Jet vs. turboprop. Do the airlines look at those the same way???I have the opportunity to go fly one of them and am not sure what would be best for an airline resume. Thanks

My guess is jet time but its just a guess.

I would say do which ever one would be more fun.

I would take the one that you would get the most time in...i know tracom can be hot or cold depending on student loading, but both are multi-engine turbine...go for the hours to build your time...

A lot of majors are drifting away from the turbine PIC requirement and going to a turbojet > 20,000#GW requirement (not necessarily PIC). They'd rather have a glass jet guy since he's easier to train than a turboprop guy, PIC time notwithstanding. Check out JetBlue, Frontier, Continental. SWA is still going for any turbine PIC.

They would both carry equal (no) weight. They are both trainers for guys who couldn't make the cut to fly fighters. And the IP's are guys that couldn't make the cut too.

Browntail,

That is soooo harsh!!!

so browntail....

tell us what you flew in the big war...

there are so many non-fighter guys at ups, i think the suck and blow guys are a minority...

at cockpit 2000, over half the guys in the class were navy p3 guys...so i think your statistics are flawed...

If you want to keep your options open then I would go with the T-44 billet. If you want to get the flight time you will and have a better chance of getting into a FEDEX or UPS etc. and even still have the same time as the single seaters do for the SOUTHWEST, JETBLUE

Take it from one. Its so much easier to take a **** standing up, then sitting down.

??? That's rude. In the Navy at least, the "cut" is luck of the draw...you must be one lucky *****. Moron.


And airline hiring boards don't care about aircraft type so much as what you did with your time. As long as your wings don't go around in circles.
