It's small, but heck, it's a "real" pilot position.
So you go through your logbook and, sure enough, if you counted all those flights with your students to the towered airport 12 NM away, you clear the 135 cross country minimums. But without it, you come up short.
So you turn to your prospective employer and say,
"Sorry, but I can't take the job. It would be a little cheap." |
Well, of course we would all be scraping up every last hour we can get...right!
I guess what I was thinking when I had agreed with mikeoh is that it is now
my goal to make each flight 50nm (if possible), knowing that I intend on getting the ATP in the future. However it all adds-up and is usuable one way or the other!
The cfi doing hops to near by airports is a great example!
