All the good posters seem to keep leaving, so here's my offering.
I am currently working for a good company flying turboprops under Part 135. I get paid an above average salary and have between 10-12 hard days off a month. The problem is that I only fly about 20 or so hours a month, so I am thinking of leaving and buying a block of right seat time in order to build hours faster and make it to a high paying major airline job sooner. I have heard that right seat pilots who buy their time are in great demand throughout the industry as most companies that sell time do not operate aircraft with autopilots, making the time buyer better equipped than anyone to deal with dreaded autopilot fails during cruise scenario that we have all done in the sim.
Bottom line, I'm looking at either TAB or Alpine, and can't decide which.
