Me thinks that they're feeding you a line of caca. You have to have 500 hours to fly Part 135 VFR and 1200 hours IFR. I'd like to know the name of the insurance company that's going to underwrite a 400 hour pilot in a Caravan. Perhaps the have a SIC program, but SIC in a single-pilot, single-engine airplane. Naw, they're feeding you a line of caca. How much money would this fantastic, too good to delieve, opportunity cost you?

Don't laugh, FedEx has some 208's that still have the Cat II equipment in them. They were going to operate some Caravans with "specially trained aircrew", utilizing two pilots.

I would guess the above poster is applying for an FO slot in a caravan at a passenger carrying airline...it might not be the best for time building and it certainly isn't going to add to his multi column, but if it leads to a PIC job within a year, it might not be bad duty. Especially, if the pay and schedule is good.

And the thing is that after 2 years you are almost secured for a chance in the ATR, and then they have their A-319 A-320 A-321 well it sounds stupid but ... who knows if it might be real. of course they might pay training for the atr and the other jets. weird and unusual I guess but not nesesarely false?

Well, what are you waiting for? Get on it...sounds like a good opportunity. If you don't do it, I'm gonna have to...

A big as it seems, that's a small ob-sta-cle...just keep plugging. Take the caravan gig when you get the time...it sounds like a good deal if quality of life and pay are decent. You'll enjoy the van and the move ups sound good as well.

No problem...The Van is as safe as the pilots who fly it. Good luck and get-r-done.

You will love the caravan if you like that 172 you're flying it lands just about the same. Just remember to flare a little higher.
