Hiring at majors

[RDG]

I got hired with King and 1900 only time.

Of course you did! You're a dog. Eveyone loves a friendly dog.

Not to beat on this, that or the other thing, but what is 'only time'?

Saturn V..... All centerline thrust, frowned upon by all legacy carriers; sorry.

Man, well i have 200 orbital, 100 suborbital time and I have logged 3 lunar landings in the past 90days. does this count for anything?

But back to the original Q..... Beech time sounds good or bad probably depending on what connections you have in the majors. Also wondering how the majors look at bigger props like saabs, brasilias and dash's

thanks

Hmmm....

My guess is that turboprop time is turboprop time...irreguardless of aircraft....unless you want JetBlue, then the 1900 won't cut it.

I will revise my earlier statement. 121 PIC turbine, 4 year degree, and most importantly, who you know will get you the job at the majors.

At my interview they were just as interested in my Beech 99 time as they were my jet time.

IMHO... The flight time gets you your ticket to the interview, but they want to see if you are a good person to represent the airline, and someone they'd want when the chips are down.... My advice: Go get the most amount of PIC Turbine you can get and get out. But, if you're concerned about the industry go somewhere that you can stay a while and make a little money until things recover.

Regionals: A great place to start, but a horrible place to get stuck.

I'll vote that in for "statement of the year"
