Northeast 135 operators?
Are there any companies like AirNet with bases in southern Maine or NH (PWM, LEW, PSM, MHT etc.)? Airnet seems like a good place to build lots of quality middle of the night flight time, but no prop bases nearby. I looked at Airnow, but basically would have to move to VT which is not in the cards. I have
PP-ASEL Instrument
639.4 TT
567 PIC
83.3 Night
49 Actual Instrument
46.6 Simulated Instrument
5.9 Simulator
401.3 X-C
...and am looking for a way to fly a lot without paying for it. I'm taking the commercial written this winter, starting to fly again next summer and get my commercial checkride done shortly thereafter.

Thanks for the responses. I've been looking at Alpha for a while, they are for sure my #1 option since they're local and <135 mins. I obviously wouldn't apply anywhere until I passed the Commercial & CFI checkride. Multi is tough to find up here...nothing but a Baron in AUG, an hour and a half drive for me, and dual only at $475/hr.

Any value in picking up the ME rating at AllATP's or similar, then buying one of those timebuilder packages?

you do what you have to do. You will need a commercial multi no matter what so I would just go and pay ATP or ACTION MULTI RATINGS in groton ct to at least get the ticket.
As far as multi there is only BED and ASH but through networking and people I have met I have flown around 25 hours in our twin and almost double that in other peoples twins, 310, baron, commanche, 414. Get out there, meet and great etc.
It is not impossible, just alot more difficult if you do not hold an mei.
I would not completely reccomend the 100 hour timebuilding, I think it is a waste of time and money but to each is own and I respect someone who has to do what they have to do to get the job done (providing it does not interfere or backstab someone elses way of life ie. picket crossing, undercutting, pft, pfj etc)
