Hey All,
I need some advice. I have an interview with an outfit that flies PC-12s.
I'm actually thrilled about the opportunity--flying all around the east coast, good pay, good equipment, stable company, etc. And a chance to do something other than instruct. (After around 500 hours of dual given, I can feel myself starting to burn out a little bit.)
Now, here's the dilema: I only have about 30 hours of multi-engine time total. My question is that if I take this job with the PC-12, In the end I would have bucket-loads of turbine PIC time, but only 30 hours of multi time.
So, the way that I see it, I have 3 options:
1) Take the job, risk not having the multi.
2) Take the job, buy the multi time
3) Stick it out, get another 70 hours in the mighty PA44, apply to a regional, and then go from there.
Oh, and I suppose I have an option 4) Stick it out, and go back to the PC-12 outfit and then go from there.
How marketable to corporate operators would I be with several thousand hours of PC-12 time, but only 30 hours in a multi? Would I be shooting myself in the foot by taking this job? I appreciate any advice that anyone could offer. I think I know which option I'm leaning towards, but it never hurts to have a second (or third, or fourth, etc.) pair of eyes have a look at the situation, especially if those eyes are experienced.
Thanks all,
