| Moderator  |  Required Hours for Corporate Position - ??? I work for a Fortune 100 company and they just posted a position for Corporate Pilot. Here are the times they are looking for: [ QUOTE ] - 4,500 hours total flight time with 2,500 hours multi-engine aircraft while acting as pilot in command, including 500 hours in type - Air Transport Pilot rating and Class I FAA medical certificate; attendance at an appropriate flight training school to meet the 12-month requirement and Citation 500 and/or 650 type rating [/ QUOTE ] I am just finishing my IR so no luck for me. Are these normal times for a position of that level? |

| Re: Required Hours for Corporate Position - ??? Those are pretty typical Fortune 100 requirements... I realize they seem a bit steep (especially for a Citation 500 series) but it isn't out of line for this type of company... |

| Moderator | Re: Required Hours for Corporate Position - ??? Thanks for the reply. I was just curious. I have met with the Chief Pilot and he was very approachable. He gave me a tour of the facilities and let me check out the Citation. With those hours, do people leave a regional/major to go corporate or do they work the charter/freight route and then move on. Those hours are not even on the horizon for me, but I think that may be the route I decide to go. Again, thanks for the response. - jim |

| Re: Required Hours for Corporate Position - ??? We have a couple guys who worked at the Regionals as well as a couple guys who worked at the Majors... Most of the others have come up the Charter route into Corporate... Myself, I went the Flight Instructor / Charter route... I was with a Fortune 100 company at 28 years old doing it this way... |

 | Re: Required Hours for Corporate Position - ??? Those are a bit steep in my opinion. But you will find that when there are a lot of pilot on the streets companies can afford to be very picky. If your CP is approachable try get on some 91 flights after you are certified in everything (Comm, IR, and AMEL). Depending on the Jet you may be even to log some SIC time. |

[/ QUOTE ] My company requires (and has always required) 5,000 TT, 2,500 Multi, 1,000 Turbine, 500 Jet... Jet Type Ratings and International Experience a plus... Most of the larger flight operations have very high mins... |

| Re: Required Hours for Corporate Position - ??? I think in the corporate world its definetly all about networking. IMO you could have 10,000 hours but if you dont have the right contact or name to drop then you are going to struggle to get in. |
