How on earth do you get 500 multi if you're flying a PC12?

Thats amazing you got hired at your 135 with those hours. Congrats on everything.
Absolutely man. The lord has been good to me too. I just need one more blessing. lol
Well damn. Looks like I am flying to Orlando for couple of nights thanks to you.I'm not kidding when I say this.
Go to Oshkosh. Dress nice, bring your resume.
All the big players were out there and they all had people taking resumes.
Getting in front of someone physically is likely to do better for you than airline apps although I would do that too just because maybe you'll win the lottery.
I walked around the tent and talked to a lot of the different folks and some of them would look at your resume and say
don't give this to me go get 12 more of X-Type hours and email me your updated resume otherwise we're going to ignore it.
All of the players are different and they all want different things but they will tell you exactly what their environment is.
The benefits of doing this is afterwards you can go to SOS Brothers have a cold beer and then watch the Thunderbirds.
Probably not a bad idea to get on this website and start hitting some job fairs:

My gut tells me right now it's a lot more about getting in front of people than applying online and it feels like that in most Fields not just aviation.
I got my interview because I was able to hand my resume and a couple letters of recommendation to a human.
The short answer to your question though is the pendulum is starting to go back the right direction.
Classes at the big carriers in my area are resuming this week.
Most of the regionals in this area started classes mid December.
Cadets are being prioritized over pilots off the street.
do we know whether cadet programs for anyone? even old people like us?
To add to this comment as someone who logs a little PC12 SIC, there is a fair amount of paperwork to do this legally on a per-flight basis. 1200TT can't come soon enough.
Sure, they have a whole middle aged former IT guy wing in the dorm.
Every airline’s pipeline is different. United’s Aviate seems most comprehensive.

Why not, provided it's logged legally?
I've seen ads that say 250, but I know in our case it would have been for people who already had a fair amount of single-engine turbine experience, plus most/all of that 250 hours in the right seat of the type they'd be flying as captain.
At that time, that was a pretty hireable in 135. We were taking people at 1000 TT, or 900TT + CFI, even a little less if they'd meet those numbers after training was complete.
What paperwork? Aside from the logbook, there's no other paperwork required unless you're logging it under an SIC PDP, in which case the PIC needs to sign your logbook with a little blurb about meeting the SIC PDP requirements.
My head hurts. lol
Regulations tend to have that effect.
Net Jets at least trains/checks to 135 or 121 requirements. And most of the people I know who have done both consider corporate flying to be generally more challenging than airline flying with regard to the variety of operations.
Yes this. isn't that already a lot? then the compliance paperwork and FML and locating and and and
Also need 6 months as PIC before one can sign SIC PDPs.
We’ve been hiring folks from 28-58 roughly. But, not with those kinds of hours.
I made it very complicated by including all of the various 135 scenarios. Part 91 it's simple: Are you flying a plane you're rated for (Category, Class, and if applicable, Type)? If so, log it. Done. 61.51(e)(1)(i) is clear, if a bit counterintuitive at first, but there are a zillion FAA interpretations that all say the same thing. Log it.
It's no more than any run-of-the-mill part 91 instructional flight would be. All that other stuff exists regardless.Yes this. isn't that already a lot? then the compliance paperwork and FML and locating and and and
I’m really hoping you get to my airline soon so I can fly with you!I'm not kidding when I say this.

It's purely based on demand. The post-COVID years saw hiring demand that was unprecedented, and the competitive mins at the legacies dropped to levels that were pretty unbelievable. We're back to a more normal hiring environment, and as such the competitive mins have adjusted upwards accordingly.
