Keep it short: go fly a crap airplane and hope you live. Then they will admire you at an airline interview.F16fixer said:The best way to cram 5 years of experience into 1 is to fly 135 overnight freight. Doing it right now, I'm still trying to decide if it's the best thing I could be doing as a young pilot or the dumbest!
It is pretty boring flying the same route every night, but the emergencies and unexpected that seem to pop up about every other week keep it interesting.
Monday night was a total electrical loss. Well not total, the battery was still at 7 volts. The only thing that worked was the GPS. I was in the clouds, but was able to call FSS on my cell phone and get a report for the nearest airports weather condition and it was VFR, so all worked out well. Thank goodness someone at garmin was thinking and designed them to work on very little battery power.
Anyway, you know that feeling of ""wow" I really learned a lot after my first couple hundred hours of teaching, well it starts all over again after your first couple hundred hrs of freight.
I see this guy has neither of these experiences, I don't think I would put my family in a plane that he was in charge of in anything except VFR!
Go get some experience.
