Default AMF forces me to make a tough decision

I got a call from my ACP today asking me if I wanted to be an F.O. in the Brasilia. After going back and forward through the Pros and Cons, I've decided to go ahead and do it.

Heres my logic:

I'm already flying the Beech 99 getting PIC time. I should be upgrading to the Metro by Febuary. Right now, they have me flying the chieftan twice as much as the 99. Since I can only be qualified in two aircraft at a time, I won't have to fly the chieftan anymore. Now I will be dual qualified in the 99 and Brasilia. So I still be getting the PIC time in the 99.

I will come out of this with two crew experience in an EFIS equiped aircraft which I believe is over 20,000lbs, a metro type rating, and a ton of turbine time. I will still be system TDY. Once I get the metro type, I will be getting metro pay reguardless of what aircraft I'm flying(unless I decide to upgrade to Brasilia captain and be making more).

The big thing that sucks is that I've just gotten out of 99 training about a month and a half ago and now I have to start studying another aircraft that is totally different. Plus, ground school starts next Monday.

Pilot754 and you are probably correct. had he finished by now he would have been sure to let us know.

Never met the guy, but there has to be a disconnect somewhere and he doesn't seem to get it.

So after talking to you tonight in the crew van about your F.O. opportunities, I figured out who KLB is... Sawwwweeeet! Glad you've been gracing Dallas with your presence. Keep it up and just stop over to the MAF E120 if you'd like a run down or help with any of the flows/study materials/etc.
