Hello everyone,
I might be offered a job in the near future and wanted to see what the good pilots of the forum thought about the career move. Mainly I want to see how this move would position me to move to a major or another part 91 or 135 department in the next few years, but would also be interested in any other thoughts you might have.
Current Job:
**Part 135 Citation 500 series and Cirrus SR22 Captain
**Mostly domestic air ambulance operations. Some international work that is limited to the Caribbean.
**Flying 400 hours per year
Potential Job:
**Part 91 Eclipse Captain/Challenger FO for 6-12 months. After getting a few hundred in type I would be moved to Challenger Captain
**In addition to flying, I would be managing both of the planes. This would include scheduling planes, crew and maintenance. Also planning and executing domestic and international trips. This would include a moderate amount of international flying to include Atlantic and Pacific Crossings.
**Would be typed on the Eclipse immediately and the Challenger shortly thereafter
**Flying 500-600 hours per year
My Current Stats:
Total Time: 4000
