Quality of PIC time

[skywiz]

Had a question about quality of flight time.

Alot of the majors require 1000 hrs PIC turbine time either multi engine OR single engine jet time.

Lets say you had 250 hrs PIC multi engine turbine time and 750 PIC single engine jet time, would that be an acceptable amount of turbine PIC time since combined... it comes out to 100 hrs PIC turbine time?

Also, what would be more valuable... multi engine turboprop or single engine jet time?

Since you're military, there should be no problem. Now if you were civilian and had 1000 pic caravan then that might not work.

With a military backround it should be fine.

If you are talking SWA add a type rating and you will be competitive. I know a few guy with those numbers get the interview and got hired.

As long as you signed the A sheet it counts for anybody you'd be intrested in flying for. Good luck.

Multi-engine turbine time operated in the complex 121 environment is looked at better than someone flying a single engine jet to the bombing range. Think of the CRM experience you get too and it is a no brainer.

Not exactly correct....

But then again, it might. Bottom line is if you have the mins, get your stuff in and you never know, it might work out.

Must fight urge. Must not give in. Control, control... ahh what the hell....

What's that you say... you have no brain.

They would be impressed with your experience and horrified by your math (750 + 250 = 100 ?) Just kidding, 1000 is 1000, Now it's who you know to hand it in that get's the job!!

Good Luck!!
