Looking for leads

[Flashbang]

I'm curious how do people get into corporate or charter heavy iron. Every ad I see, they want type ratings with time in type. Can't blame them, but how does one get it aside from forking out 25k+ for type?

Ideally, I'd like to get into a mid or large-cabin size airplane based in SoCal. It doesn't matter to me if it's 91 or 135.

Please PM me with any leads, advice, or just flame away right here.

Thanks!

Sage advice I received when I was in the Navy applies here:

"It ain't who ya know or who ya blow, its HOW ya Blow WHO ya know!"

Flashbang - good luck and good question. Trying to do the same thing here. One route you might try is at the fractionals - get hired, get the type and then fly contract on your days off! Or get some right seat work somewhere that has a lot of movement, build your SIC time and wait for the upgrade.

However you do it - good luck and let us know how it pans out!
