Building Time After Collegiate Aviation

[Boltonpilot]

I'd like some feed-back on what some of you have done after graduating with your ratings...what did you do to build some valuable flight time?

I plan on going to OSU and getting the rest of my ratings with them, (and hopefully passing my ATP written too). Talking to some people at the airport, I heard that most graduates that go up to their Comm and CFI's will have about 300 hrs of time. (Not sure what the average ME time is though...if someone could fill me in, I'd appreciate it...)

Pretty much the same thing that everybody that gets their ratings at an FBO does : Flight Instruct!!!

Yeah, I'm trying to think of many ways that can keep me flying a lot each day without dying from no sleep!

I'll definately look at instructing, and hopefully I can find a job flying a multi' around the region. I'd love to get a lot of flight time in a Baron or sumpn'.

find someone to split time with. That's what I've been doing for over 100 hours.

I graduated Univ. of Oklahoma last May. Last Sept. I went to FlightSafety to get my CFI. I have recently been hired and will begin standardization next month. I will sign a 800 hour contract and half of it will be multi time. I can't wait to get started! BTW I graduated OU with 18 hours of multi. 10 hours multi training and 8 hours turbine transition.
