Talking to other older bush pilots, they do count as something very valuable. Those who are in the industry will respect the bush time you have since they know the nature of flying we do. So when you have all the PIC time, it would be attractive indeed and upgrading to a twin captain would certainly be faster.
hey Rookie, there's not the time for you to pick what you want to fly. So what if it is all SINGLE engine day flying? Remember..you gotta have fun with your flying job too, right? You would be lucky if you were given a job flying a Piper Cub!! The point is, take what is given to you for now and worry about flying the big planes later! Like 1 guy told me, if you love flying that much, you would go anywhere and fly anything! If you have the attitude of "I want my multi time....boy..you are in for a rude awakening bud!" Come up to the bush and try it for yourself...you won't regret it. I wasn't sure about flying floats either but I gave it a try and I love it. The friends I know who are flying turboprops now miss the scudruns!
