Thanks for that.
I know that European operators like multi-crew certified aircraft but what I really want to know is if I worked in a multi-crew environment in a single pilot certified aircraft, whether it would make any difference.
In the US, when looking for a job PIC (or P1) time is very important. How important is that in Europe?
According to your friends' experiences it doesn't have to be. But I've not heard from one operator tell me either way yet. I've sent some emails to some operators without any response. Guess I'll have to start phoning.
You're right about bigger, heavier being better. BA look for people with experience in turbo-props of more than 10 tonnes / minimum of 20 pax.
However, time in this type of aircraft in the US is almost always SIC and I don't want to hurt my chances looking for a job in FAA land either.
Would appreciate to hear from any HR people (or anyone else who could shed any further light on the matter).
