What are your expectations? Vancouver area generally requires some time to get a job. The operators like to use the excuse that its because there are mountains. 800TT if you are really lucky might get you right seat in a Navajo. The magic number to get into most turbines is 1000TT here and Jet 3000hrs. I would switch with you if I could cause 800TT in an ERJ 145 sounds like a sweet gig to me. Oh and we dont have the frozen ATPL system here. You can write an IATRA exam to be a first officer on anything over 12,500lbs and you can write your ATPL at 750 hours but you dont get the ATPL until you have at least 1500 hours TT and have met the requirements. From what I see in other pilots they lack the night pic time to get their A's.
