Question about time building!

[time builder]

The "sole manipulator" SIC thing probably won't get you very far in getting a job, but if you look at the ATP requirements, it requires 500 PIC OR SIC as the sole manipulator. I just made a separate column when I was SIC on a part 135 leg as the pilot flying.

...So my plan is to fly the Caravan then CFI on my days off. So in about a year my time should be somewhere around 1,100TT 200ME 400PIC 700SIC. How does this look to interview boards?[/quote]

I think you may have a problem being hired simply for the lack of PIC time. Best thing to do in your situation would be to right seat in the 'Van til you get 135 PIC mins, then get a 135 PIC job and build up your PIC time BEFORE you apply to any regional. They also like to see applicants who can handle more than just "Gear Up, Flaps Up, Shut UP!" Getting into 135 and becoming a company instructor can take as little as 4-6 months in some outfits, and looks excellent on your resume.

This might take a little longer than the year you are planning on, maybe 2-3. Don't let that discourage you, but don't expect yourself to be a shoo-in right at their mins.

You are right. Airlines are not hiring co-pilots, they are hiring Captains.
