Looking for opinions on the best way to get turbine PIC. I was with Coex and furloughed, and now with ASA and been doing the regional thing for about 4 years now ( including 1 year furlough). Upgrade is still a long ways away, best guess is another 4 years, and then who knows how long as a reserve cptn to get the coveted 1000 Turbine PIC.
I am considering pursing a job with a cargo outfit like ameriflight or corportate flight department with the goal of making it to the left seat at some point before all my connections at die or retire.
Does anyone know if there is a way to fly left seat fast anymore.. I remember pre 9/11 upgrade times were a matter of months, and many cases of hireing cptns off the street. Does it exist, or are we all in for the long haul?
Seems like I am always reading post about people wanting to get into my position with a regional carrier. I have not read any post about regional FO's (not on furlough) wanting to pursue other job options.
