Good evening,
I’m currently flying a Legacy 600 for a 135 company and have been considering a jump to the airlines but have run into a couple of stumbling blocks as of late. Despite having logged more than 4000 hours of turbine PIC in the last 7 years in various turbo props/light jets/mid and super mid-size corporate jets, I am rapidly learning that all of the hours logged in these past years are of no use in applying toward any sort of validation with most major 121 carriers. I am interested in Envoy but honestly cannot leave this current position to fly at a regional for 2 years as an FO while I accrue the required 1000 hours of required 121 time to meet upgrade requirements (if I am reading the regulation correctly.) Has anyone else out there has this sort of experience or similar frustrations?
