Another confused pilot
This is my story. I currently work for Ameriflight flying a BE99 and have been with them for nearly a year. I have a gear up incident on my record from when I worked as a flight instructor before joining Ameriflight. I have 2500 TT with 650 turbine PIC (BE99). My goal is to work for an airline like Southwest, UPS, FedEx, Delta, United, Jet Blue, Alaska, Virgin or goto India.
I've been recently trying to get a job with Mesa because of fast upgrade time, however, they haven't been returning my communications. Republic and endeavor have also been pursuing me for an interview, however, their upgrade time is much longer. Ameriflight has offered be an upgrade into a BE1900, but then I would not be able to accrue any multi crew time. I've heard mixed reviews about PSA and overall I'm pressed on time to make a decision about the 1900 upgrade offer.
I'm not sure if I should take the offer, or continue flying the BE99 while pursuing Mesa or any other regional with a fast e175 upgrade time or just settle for the crj700/900's or maybe transtates (e145's indian viability is 0).
[PS : I would take a e-175 instead of crj/erj at a regional as that opens my international options much more as well (specifically india).]
Thanks much again, your opinions/advice/comments are invaluable.
