I would just like to know if its necessary or not to spend the $$$ on an IPC.

Thanks!
With 320TT, I'd definitely spend $ on your IFR proficiency (specifically flying approaches) not only for your confidence but for the confidence of pilots that you are going to be flying with as well.

I've flown with new hires that have only logged "hood" time and when they experienced their first actual weather, approach to minimums, they became paralyzed. So what I'm trying to say is that the more experience you have, the better.

Anyone hear anything lately? I applied a few times in the last few months and heard nada.

Based in Denver, active MEI. 3200 TT, 1600 Turbine PIC. I wonder if I am competitive.

I don't see how you couldn't be. Apply again.

Thanks! I will. Right now I am focusing on getting ATPs for those that have expiring written tests in July so I am flying quite a bit. Be nice to fly a line again or even be an instructor at Boutique.

Both are definitely possible. Especially in Denver. That's where most of the training happens.

Keep trying.

Good luck. I have 2x your Flight Time, live in Denver have flown EAS routes before and nada as well. There must be some weird formula they use.

I know that they are looking for PICs for DEN right now. Might be waiting to see if any current Boutique pilots want to upgrade/ move bases before hiring street captains. Give it a week or two.

Negative. I believe the one we have is a 1998 model.
