ah, on this i can agree

I can agree with you to a certain extent but what he is doing now certainly would not be viewed as a "negative" by any future company.

hehe, far be it for me to tell a freight pilot to go elsewhere, as thats how i started in this messed up business. but then again, everyone i interviewed at when getting out of cargo, the first question was, do you have any experience with passengers?

...either way, at least hes got options

I agree with you about the transition from the cargo side to the pax side of the business. This point and potential area of concern is a valid one. I think it would probably come down to how well this individual interacts with others and how well he does in a 2 crew environment. The majority of folks that I have met have had no problem(s) in making this transition.

On somewhat of an ironic side note there was a female US Airways Bus captain/check airwoman who had her first interview with FedEx last week apparently. Talk about having to literally start over from the bottom up, ouch !!.

135 Bandit Time v. 91 C90 Time

The only caveat might be that multi 135 turbine time does not grow on trees. You should factor that against your long-term plans. Of course, you are still getting multi turbine time in the KingAir. More money is always nice, but you need to determine if the expensive cost-of-living in Southern Cal will gobble up your raise.

Having said all that and considering that corporate is your goal, I would likely opt for the new job.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
