What hours count toward the minimum requirements to get hired onto the regionals?
I ask, because while I've got 500 hours total time, about half of that is in helicopters. I'm curious to know how much this will hurt me when I start looking for work at the regionals in a year or so. Do they accept some helicopter time in place of airplane time, or does this actually hurt me? If I'm a few hundred hours short of the min requirement, but I've got enough helo time to make up for that, is that considered acceptable?
Just thinking ahead to next year!
