Surely clinty83 is a windup.

CPL and MECIR, 2 almost 3 ATPL's and about 300hrs??
Either that, or you have been badly mislead on the first job front. For all the newbies out there, here are the numbers that you need to be looking at.

First Job
CPL and 200-250hrs+ but the more the better, then all you need to worry about is reaching 1000/200. Meaning 1000hrs TT on a 200 series something similiar (Airvan, Bonanza, etc)

Then you can start thinking about 500/2, or 500 multi engine. Note I said start thinking, 1000hrs doesn't magically gift a job in a twin, could be 800, could be 1500 TT.

Once you have 2000TT and 500 multi, then you can start to look for metro/saab night freight jobs on the east coast.

I'm not being being mean, I'm stating the likely course your career will take. Anything other than this is more an exception than a rule.

To state that you will sign a long term contract and pay off an endorsment just to make life easier will only backfire on you in the longterm, and makes life harder for those more qualified to earn a better wage.
