I'm a January 2016 hire on the CRJ; finished IOE at the end of April. I became a lineholder in ORD after two months.

I would tell them you have no preference, first available. Make sure they give you the one year seat lock, not two. Then switch after a year if you want. You'll have more flexibility and more seniority but just taking the first class. Unless you specifically want to live in SLC that only has the CRJ right now.

I am currently a CFI/MEI @ around 850 hrs, I just wrapped up an interview with a part 135 operator flying SIC in a KingAir350. At the end of the interview and job offer the HR guy made some confusing statements. Looking for some clarity before I accept. He said that their OP Specs did not require an SIC but their insurance did. According to the FARs 61.51 I can't log that time as SIC even with a type rating because the KA350 is certificated under single pilot operations. My next question to him is then how do I build time? He said most of their pilots were MEI's and that I could log PIC as the sole manipulator of the controls. Then I asked if any of their captains had the "Need an SIC" endorsement on their certificates, he said no.
My question, will Skywest or any 121 operator allow me to count that total time and dual received towards an ATP? I get that it is multi turbine time but I have a super sweet CFI job that I dont want to leave if I'm just going to have to make up all of those hours that wont be counted. |

The fact that you had that conversation with this operator shows you how shady the 135 world can be. Avoid it if you can and go straight 121.

The difference is that you were at a company that was approved by the faa to have a two pilot crew, where the other guy is looking at a company that is not approved by the faa for a two man crew but only required by insurance. He "can't" log sic in that aircraft, but that doesn't mean that people don't log the time anyways and avoid the conversation later. |
When i went through training, one of the training manangers came to our class and said that there was a guy who got hired with 1500 hours. He was part way through training and they looked at his logbooks and he logged a lot of SIC in single pilot operations. He was essentially 1000 hours short.
If you are coming from a 135 that requires a SIC in the opspecs, you will he fine. |

I'll let him decide if that's the right thing to do or not. |

My point was he probably won't get asked too many questions about it.
