My 2 cents...you need to concentrate on getting a job where you can get some PIC time. Get a job, any job, that is in the left seat of whatever. I have had many 1500hr copilot in the right seat of gulfstreams that would never upgrade without more single pilot PIC time. (no matter how much gulfstream time they obtained)

Don't get me wrong...right seat time is a great thing but...if you get into the right seat now it will be more difficult down the road to get out of it and back into something that is single pilot.

Just my opinion...get a minimum of 3000hrs single pilot PIC before getting into right seat of anything. It will make you a better pilot sooner!!

Fly4Cheap, You hit the nail on the head. I couldn't have said it better. I flew a WHOLE bunch of puddle jumpers and small twins prior to going into the jets. I know it made me a better pilot. Moving into a co-pilot position way too soon is not good for your career. I don't know about flying with 1,500 hr co's (I hope your exagerating) but I've certainly flown with some right seaters who had NO idea what it takes to be PIC.

Fly- That has never been pointed out to me and seems like a good point. As if there weren't already enough things to think about. It seems like you are saying a little patience now pays off in the long run.

I wouldn't work for a SCAB

I'd like to go to work for him. Then ground every aircraft assigned to me, by squawking only items that could not be deferred. When I'm 2,000 miles from VNY.

Focking creep. A disgrace to the otherwise distinguished flight line at UAL.
