You're only 98 hrs away from meeting the hiring requirements of PlaneSense

Word of caution:
Handing out resumes at FBO's may get you the occasional right seat ride but be very cautious how you log this.
Getting rides in King Airs or Citations will not look good in your logbook.
Ask yourself how you can log the time without formal training in the airplane.

Example:
Benevolent me offers you a right seat in a Citation for a repositioning flight.
Coolest thing right?
Don't log it counting towards your total time. It's going to look silly.
Even though I am an MEI.
You can't just log one hour dual in any random airplane that you've received no formal ground training for and that you are not rated for.
Be very cautious about logging SIC in a single pilot certified aircraft.
Being low time a recruiter will dig through your logbook and disregard any fluff time.

Seriously you're better off practicing instrument approaches in a SE.
If you do get rides in aircraft then put them in the back of your logbook as 'evidence' rather then logging them on your regular pages.
If somebody asks you during an interview if you have any turbine or jet experience you can answer them truthfully that : 'formally no but such a date you've observed/assisted in such and such an airplane"

Make sense?
