Low Time Pilot, help?!

[legendskid_44]

So ya Just received my commercial ME and SE. but i'm still at very low time 255/15. Should i not even bother to send in my resume to the regionals? talked to my instructor and he said just start sending them out, should I? I rather start flying for an airline instead of going for my CFI right now but either way i'm still going to seek my CFI later on if i do get hired. What do you regional guys think?

any help is very helpful from any body with more hours then me, always soaking up information!!!

thanks for the help

Brew yourself up a fresh pot of coffee, sit down at your computer for a few hours, and go through this Regionals board from top to bottom. You'll find the answers you seek.

Short version: Piedmont, PSA and USAJet have NO time requirements. TSA is 250/25. Others? Who knows, you may as well apply.

But the key is don't be tentative. You CAN get a job at those hours, others have. But you have to be aggerssive and go after it.

theres no point. the whole point of getting your cfi is to build time to get your regional job. unless of course you enjoy teaching.

Get your CFI. You will be a better pilot and PIC for it.

have you tried searching? It seems like every week this exact same question comes up. Search "Low time" and you will get gobs of threads....

As others have stated, PSA, TSA, Pinnacle, ACC, Airnet, Usajet, and prolly more that I am forgetting. If you try hard enough you will find something. Or, you could go out and CFI and build some time to get on with one of the 'better' regionals

He's got a ways to go before applying to Airnet...

I would start sending them out. You never know what's going to happen, and FWIW, I have 1200/110, and not one peep out of ExpressJet or SkyWest, so just because you have time, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to call...
