2ndly right now no regional is going to hire a 300 hour wonder. Comair recently had interviews, I had a buddy there with over 1000/100 and guess what? He was the odd ball. Most had well over 3000 hours and most had 121 experience. You personally would not stand a chance against them.
Well I would love to do some PC-12 flying but I dont have near the mins for insurance same with the king air I would prefer that but they all want close to 1200 hours. The reason I would like to jump on the bandwagon is the last time there was a hiring wave I missed it because I was in school and then look right afterwards there was no hiring and its looking pretty bleak. As for the degree it's an Aviation Management Degree outta SIU and I really have no desire to use it unless I absolutely have to use it and even then finding a management job with no experience isn't real an easy thing to do. Hence the reason why if I get a job offer I want to jump on it. I'm sure I will be getting my CFI because it doesn't seem like a job that I would mind doing right now so if I have to I will do that I am all for not having 300 hour wonders in the cockpit but when you got bills coming in you do what gotta do. Thanks for the input.
P.S. I won't be applying to Mesa anytime soon even though I think there hiring with crazy bonus' to new hires.
Everyone on here is telling you to finish your degree. STAY IN SCHOOL!! Now is not the best time to get into this industry. Don't make a mistake that you will regret later. Most majors either require a bachelor's degree or highly prefer one.
Maybe you should go to mesa, since you are contemplating finishing one more measly year of school. They are both horrible decisions, but go hand in hand
