I just interviewed and was hired at a 141 flight school with a Seminole. Turns out that the Seminole is a lemon and has been going down for Mx about every 3-4 hours it flies. Now I'm bummed out about working there as I see no opportunity to build multi. Boss has said he'd help out with the CFII and MEI if I do a good job but now I wonder if that was BS. Also, turns out that the instructors before me had to go buy their multi time at Ari-Ben to get their new jobby jobs.
So, now I guess I should just go buy the time as well. I'm sick of begging for multi-opportunities and waiting around so long at dead end CFI jobs.
I think Ari-Ben is way expensive so please help out with some input regarding something more affordable or whether or not this is even worth it. Charlotte is a 2 hour car commute and Atlanta is 3-5 hours away. Keep in mind, I may buy 50 hours of multi but I will not PFT and be kicked out to the street. Now you may ask why did I post here at the regional thread and here's why:
I need some input from you guys in with the regionals on how I should best go about putting myself on a path to qualify for a job that allows me to fly a lot and build multi PIC (since many of you have been there/done that). I have 7.4 hours of multi PIC and think that maybe by buying 50 hrs of multi I could qualify for a low end cargo job that would take on a guy with 500tt and 50 hrs multi. What do you think?
