Get some Turbine time..... TT is important but it seems from your post there is only going to be a 100hrs difference.

I have been trying to get a relief pilot for a few months now, so I can get some days off. problem is everyone I know has all 44, 22 and S300 time. they have well over a 1000 hrs TT but no Turbine. Our insurance requires 100hrs Turbine (Well actually in type, but they can waiver that.) (not my idea)

Years ago I found a place that offered time building on a B206 for only $110 I am sure a lot of people have heard the same kind of thing. I needed 50hrs of time before I could sit for my CPL so I did that. Later that got me my first job as they were willing to help me get the rest of the time needed to satisfy the insurance requirements.

Long story short getting some Turbine time helped me.
