Hello Everyone:
I was wondering if you could give me some advice? My goal down the long road is to be with an International Carrier Overseas flying heavy equipment or flying nice corporate equipment like the G-V.
Right now, I have interviews coming up with regionals and a company that is interested in putting me as an FE on something like a DC-8 or B727.
The FE position is Part 121 and starting pay is about 10-15K more than an FO regional position. The down side is that upgrade time to FO is about 2 years. I'm a bit worried that my hands-on flying skills might degrade by then. What will make me more marketable in the long run? FE time or FO time at a regional. The FO Regional positions that I'm interviewing for are on a CRJ with starting pay at about $18K.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
