PC12 Rating
If an employer sees a new pilot applicant put on their resume that they acquired a PC12 rating, is that resume going in the trash or would they see it as someone knows a bit about the plane and let’s give them a chance since they’re one step ahead.
I’ve been reading posts from others that say don’t waste your money and stop buying a job, thoughts from others that experienced it or seen it.
Thanks again

Re: PC12 Rating
If you have zero work experience as a pilot and a PC12 rating, I would turf the resume instantly. Don't pay for type ratings (or type specific training) in Canada.
Re: PC12 Rating
An operator will want you to fly their planes their way, especially if flying two-crew, which may or may not fully align with how you were taught wherever you independently trained on type. This will leave you with a varying amount of things to un-learn at the new job and that next Chief Pilot of yours is aware of it. For that reason I would say the less total time you have the more that type course can actually hurt your resume.
IMO if your heart is set on flying a PC-12 I’d suggest you get a copy of the AFM and just learn about the airplane on your own, leave it up to the employer to show you how to make it go.
