Thanks for your reply.

Briefly - I am an airline pilot flying as a captain for an Asian airline but domociled in LA. I hold Australian ATP, I am an australian.

My interest is simply to obtain an FAA ATP for future contract work if required. I thought it would be a good opportunity to combine the ATP check ride with a type rating on something like a King Air. I have many hours on Turbocommander 690's from 20 years ago but they dont appear to be very common around here.

BUT....I know almost nothing about aviation in the US.

What I would love to do is pick up some part time flying right seat in something like a small charter/corporate turbo prop. Just an occasional trip, nothing to frequent.

Do 300/350's require an FO for charter/corporate and if so does the FO require a type rating. I think from memory in oz the 350 requires a type (we call it an endorsement) and requires 2 crew for pax commercial operation and the FO would need the type also.

Is is common to use casual or part timers for FO work in such a machine?

Any info would be appreciated. Its time for me to start flying again instead of just monitoring an autopilot for 10 hours. Yawn,

kind regards,

Paul

I made about $60k flying the 200 10 years ago. Probably not really relevant to today so take it for what it's worth.

Making 55k as a captain on a king air 200 in the Northeast.

4700+ a month in Africa

Was recently offered a job in GA on a king air, pay was 25,000 base plus 20-30k flight pay.

Turned it down, I'm making that at the regionals.

Thanks for the feedback blokes.

Im not looking at full employment so much as retirement part time work.

62,500 first year 200 captain in south Louisiana. With benefits...
