a few years back.
If you have 5 years left in you, enjoy some big iron and real respect. Even if you have to do regionals for a year or two. To have flown the airlines is a great achievement looking back from retirement. To have flown both helicopters and airliners is an accomplished career. |

I have lifelong buddies in the helicopter industry and saw them hesitating. Saw it back then anyway. Now i'm a bit out of the loop. Some were old like me, over 50. Some were younger. I like our pilot corps and it would be nice to have made a difference in someone's life. Maybe it'll just get made fun of because thats how we behave and thats ok. |

Airline pilots have schedules. Early mornings; late nights. No napping half the day and flying 15 hours a month. Crappy crews, 100 passengers that aren’t sedated and 100 nights on the road.
Go get that boys. |

I've been considering the same. How did you build your fixed wing time to qualify as a 135 line pilot? |

I did some instructing on the side early on and ag spraying later. The ag spraying was a little taxing due to the early mornings but it was fun. I also got to fly first officer on some side gigs in jets. I didn't need all that much PIC due to the helicopter time. I just needed some multi engine time and that came witht the regionals. |

We have a 135 fixed-wing operator that will hire low time pilots in a SIC capacity to build time, and I was curious what options are out there to get to the ATP minimums. |

got fired from a lot of jobs with that type of work history. I'm guessing you are still sweeping a hangar floor, hoping for some time. |
