Captain from Bizzjet to Airline
Hi there,
Just curious, how easy is it to change ops as a skipper? A friend of mine (FO) got the opportunity to become a captain on a light business jet (2 crew, for example: Learjet 31/40/Hawker 400, MTOW8,000kg). Not really corporate flying, but it is on a light business jet. From what I have seen with airliners, they want mostly PIC on >27,000kg or atleast FO hours on >27,000kg.
Sometimes I have been reading things like: take the command asap, never turn back a command etc. Also things like, if airlines are really desperate, they will hire anyone if you will have PIC hours etc.
Will it be doable/easy to switch from bizzjet a/c as a captain to airliners?
