Shorty83,
Give Falcon Express Cargo a try. They operate F27 and B1900, if I'm not mistaken.
In todays pilot market, why would airlines make exeptions to their mentioned standards?
when they have piles of CVs giving chief pilots 1000s of hours pic and a current type rating on turbo or jet to select from. Now, hours in itself do not make you a good pilot. But it helps when the airlines line up candidates for assessment.
