Hello guys!
I just would like to ask what you think is the best method of building flight time for the regionals. I live in Alaska and there are different options.
I might be able to get on a TwOtter in the near future while in college, or I could flight instruct and/or go fly in the bush.
I would love to get the Otter job, but who knows how that will turn out?
My question about the bush is, I might get placed in a 207, but is that a wise step? I won't be getting multi-time unless I am able to work at a company like Hageland where you can upgrade.
And of course I could flight instruct and build the same single engine time I would get in the bush with some ME instructing here and there.
So if you all could give me some good advise on what I should try to plan on.....I should have my ratings finished in 5-6 months, and I like to plan ahead and think things through.
Thanks for being such a tremendous help guys! Really do appreciate the tips and help I have been receiving!
