Sometime in your professional career, you are going to have to bite the bullet and get Command time so that you are promotable. With a new Commercial licence and minimal hours, you could do worse than spending a year in the right seat of a Twin Otter, ( they are a fun ship, and get operated to interesting places too) watching, learning, and being in a co-pilots role, before getting your own single or twin command to build those hours that will get you back into the right seat of something bigger.

Its been done to death elsewhere, but how will Cadets with larger airlines ever get promotion, (without the rules being changed), if they never get to log Command time on the larger types they crew?
