No self-respecting company would even consider it as an option. It's bad enough how little pilots are paid to begin with and no one with a shred of self-respect would ever consider working for free. Just so you're absolutely clear about the regs, ALL (not most) Part 135 operators are required to employ pilots with a minimum of 500 hours if they are to act as pilot-in-command under VFR flight rules. They require 1200 hours to fly under IFR flight rules. There are a few operators (a very few) who will employ a copilot with less than 500 hours, but most 135 carriers are single-pilot and do not have a second-in-command training program that allows the use of a copilot. None of the half-dozen 135 operators I've worked for ever have. Your lack of pride and self-respect is pitiful and if I ever met someone who worked for free to build hours I'd sooner punch their lights out than share a cockpit them. I'm sure that most other professional pilots would agree with me on that score. Be a man, not a groveling whore willing to work for free, otherwise you will make no friends in aviation and get no respect from other pilots. Ir's probably best if you stay anonymous in this forum with your generic blue face. p.s. If I received a resume and application from someone who used "wanna" on it, I'd throw it into the trash.  |
