hi
my ultimate goal is to work for a major airline. I am aware its not so easy to get there.
I am a captain in a 121 airline flying a metroliner 3 (light turboprop less than 20000 lbs: cant apply to jetblue for example)
I have 2600 hours and 975 hrs 121 turbine PIC and about 7-8 months away from my 4 year degree.
I know these times are not very competitive therefore I would like to build my total time in a glass equipped jet and possibly heavy (Omni air, north american....) if I can get hired there. Or even a fractional such as Flexjet.
Not too exicted about the regionals.
My chief pilot offered me a check airman position. I would not have to stay there for a specific amount of time. I could just do a checkride and leave .no hard feelings.
Should I put on hold my job hunt for this opportunity or get the jet,glass time?
