Yes, CBTs for things like HAZMAT (will not carry), international, TFSSP, weather, etc. It takes a while.

I was just on Wheels UP website and it shows 500hr multi time for a King Air FO, is that correct? I have my CTP/ATP written completed and BE300 SIC type just not the 500hrs multi. I read below for "mins" but do they hire at mins or at the standards?

Not making judgment either way, what's the policy with the masks if there is any? Thanks.

We have to follow the same policy as the airlines. Masks in the FBOs, and on the aircraft with passengers on board. Not mandatory on the flight deck as it could be a safety issue if you need the O2.

Any suggestions on luggage to use? I used 26" Luggage works for 25 years in the airlines but will obviously need something smaller to fit in baggage compartment of the Be400.

I flew the BeechJunk at NetJets for several years and always used a 26" LW bag. Luggage space is tight but there weren't that many times we had to throw bags in the Lav and put the cargo net up.

Also a luggage question. I am starting on the king air, will the Luggageworks stealth 22" fit in the wing locker? Apparently the bag I have now will not fit.

yes the 22 fits just fine, as long as it’s not over-stuffed. The 22 compresses nicely.
