Flight Time?

[pgcfii2002]

Do the regionals care where and how you get your flight time? I have an opporunity to build a few hundred hours by owning an aircraft partnership (with my money). Do the 135 or 121 airlines frown on buying flight time? So far the whole CFI gig has not produced my time in my logbook.

Thanks.......

99% of the time the answer is no. but you never know. maybe the guy interviewing you had to instruct for 10 years for $5/ hour and will resent you.

The world is going to be hurting for pilots soon. Take a look at express jet, pinnacle, american eagle, and colgan. They are begging for pilots. I personally dont think they will care. Just remember cfi are on top of there book knowledge since they teach it all the time.

I would love to know your justification to a pilot shortage. There has never been a shortage of pilots, only a shortage of "qualified pilots" Qualified meaning the monkey suit wearing, string puppet playing resume the airline HR department want you to be. Any idiot can fly an airplane. Im no stranger to aviation but I sure hope your theory proves valid, theres an abundant onslaught of monkeys in training waiting in line to fill the stage of hoola hoop jumping. No offense but anyone can fly the airplanes their building today, and most are willing to earn crap pay and dance all night long just to sit in the front of that shiny metal tube to fuel their ego and hope to impress a swim suit photo chica with the "Im a pilot" pickup.

I don't think anyone will hold it against you as long as you have a CFI/MEI and are trying to use it as well.

While you're up there turning avgas into noise, think about doing some Angel Flight missions. Might as well help somebody who needs to go somewhere. Might make you look like a hero in an interview. Might make you feel like a hero. Your passengers will probably think so.
