Let me start by saying I'm a little scared posting a thread on here because every other day I see some newbie getting hosed down after the flammage.
My predicament...
I'm looking for my first real position.
Older than most new guys (30)
Low hours (just over 300)
The companies I have in my sights use C210
A common requirement is 20 hours on type for insurance reasons
I only have 2.5 hours on type from a check ride combined with BFR
Now what I want to know is, what are my options in getting to the 20 hour mark?
Paying for a 210 by the hour is way too expensive! But without doing that, how am I going to get the other 17.5 hours needed?
I've looked at a company offering ICUS on a tourist run (they do charge for this ... i don't want to add to the problems of GA)
I've also bugged the daylights out of a priest with a 210 (no luck)
What have you other guys done to satisfy or get around this kind of issue?
Is this a stupid question with an obvious answer?
I know how everyone on here feels about paying for ICUS (and i feel the same) but at the moment I can't see any other way around it
