I’m not suggesting your plan couldn’t come together at all, just expect a lot more resistance than the regional route is all.
Yes thanks...as I mentioned, I have an FAA ATP, plenty of float time (6,000 hours on floats) multi-engine float time, Ag rating, mountain time (I have what they need for the advertised position) but yes, the negative is Regionals would be far easier to get into just because of the number of jobs and the precedent of E3 hiring...on the plus side what they’re after in terms of qualifications for the 415 is somewhat specialized - there just aren’t many people around with Multi-Engine seaplane time combined with Ag rating and so on....Anyhow, I do realize it’s a very long-shot, but can only throw my hat in the ring and see what happens! No loss to try and fail! Thanks again.
