How to get those hours …
So I graduated with an EASA ME-CPL / ME-IR jet orientation and a CRM course, with a conditional job offer with an airline but thanks to coronavirus, that one went down the pan.
I am now living in the USA ans about to do the conversion to get an FAA CPL/IR and possibly do the AMEL also. When I graduate I’m expecting to have around 300hrs and obviously need to get to the magical 1500hrs before applying to the airlines.
id like to know which companies are worth applying to with that few hours that can get me working as aggressively as possible towards those Hours?
we may be relocating to Seattle for my wife’s work, but in essence, anywhere in the USA will be great
many thanks

1. Combine your commercial and CFI training all from the right seat, then take your CFI test on the same day with no additional training.
2. Get a CFI job
3. Buy the smallest cheapest thing with an N number that satisfies part 61.51 and fly it.
