Chill_83 bro, ding duck is bang on. Don't waste ya time. Head north, exhibit common sense, land a job flying what ever - blah blah.

After doin it tough for a season, find a better, bigger operator, and most decent operators will endorse you if they think you are worth while and already possess a MECIR.

If you haven't already done your MECIR, then do it on a common type such as Barry the Barron, or Ben the 310. That should get you a foot in the door. From there it should be natural progression onto the bigger types (so long as someone doesn't buy the job above you) LOL

BTW - have seen young pilots get picked for jobs flying 206/210s without any time on type, and thats over other young pilots who do have time on type. The criteria for landing these first jobs isn't based completely on time flying (what ever the type) - but more so on the attitudes, knowledge, common sense, ability, and interpersonal skills of the potential pilots.
