Safety Pilot

Funny how his spelling just improved on his last post.....lol

Settle down a little hour builder, the guy's got 4700 hrs more than you.
Reach that number first, see how you feel about it.
How do you intent to log all this safety pilot ime anyway?
"acting" PIC? "pretending" PIC?
If you want to make a career out of aviation you may want to stay away from any safety pilot time, it's considered pretty useless.
The only time that you can do absolutely nothing and still log PIC is when you're a CFI........

Since you’re a young guy work’n hard. Get that CFII/MEI and start teaching. If that’s not good for you, go down to the FBO and get a job where you can make some contacts. I do have to say, this is one of the more amusing threads I’ve read for awhile…

Multi-engine flight time is the "gold"...... Start to network now so you won't have to worry about this when the time presents itself. This "time" is the hardest to obtain and it is what is desired and needed to get your foot into the door.

Multi-engine turbine time = you hit the lotto time....

good luck,

Not sure if I agree with that anymore. I've been looking hard for an airline job for a while. I've got 500TT and 250ME... and I can't get anyone to call me back. I know my TT sucks but I didn't think it mattered that much. By the way, the 250 was not PFT, but at this point I'm almost willing to go that route.

two posts, both of which were about begging for some free time.

don't beg for it, go take it...

No airline will call you with your times. Your total and multi are very light. I don't know what you've been fed or who has fed it to you, but no regional hires street pilots with your times. You're going to need much more time to interest the regionals. For starters, at least 1500 total and 500 of multi, and your ATP. More realistic times would be 2500 total and 700 of multi.

Every pilot who is low on time feels the desperation you feel. Go find a job where you can build hours. Get your CFI, if you don't already have it. P-F-Ting will cost you, now, and later.

Good luck.
