I thought I'd introduce myself to the forum. At the moment I'm flying a Mooney M20J for a local architecture firm out of Ohio to some surrounding areas such as Indy, Detroit, Louisville and Pittsburgh. It's a pretty neat job and the pay sure beats being an instructor buzzing around in 172's!
One of the mentors helping me stay on the right path to ultimately flying for a good corporate outfit (ideally...the one at which he is the DO) has explained what he looks for in an ideal candidate. He wants to hire captains, with a few thousand hours of PIC turbine time in 121 and/or 135 operations which makes very good sense because by then you've seen and done quite a bit.
The market in my area is pretty slim with some very poor reputation charter operators and some high end operators with nothing in between. I thought I'd just try to branch out a bit and see about leads in the industry that would be interested in a low-timer with the very modest qualifications of 1100 total time and 250 multiengine, most of which is in Piper Aztec/Apache models and 100hrs of actual (wet) instrument.
Any tips on how to keep moving up the ladder or what you might have found helpful would be greatly appreciated! I posted this under charter as well since it applies and hopefully I'll get to community here. Looking forward to it and thanks a million.
