My son is only 13 but is nuts about airplanes and flying and insists he wants to fly for a living. Right now he's been flying with me in my experimental backcountry taildragger.
Because of my work I have the ability to get him set up with his own plane for building hours and we have a fair bit of flexibility on what we get short of a jet or helicopter.
What are the most "valuable" hours for him to have in his logbook when he starts looking for jobs?
I would assume twin time is pretty important. If so, does the type of twin matter when employers are looking for entry level pilots? IOW, does it have to be high performance (>402 hp) if it's complex?
