That does not sound very promising
I currently am being screwed by Gulfstream Academy and am dying to leave to start training somewhere else.I'm not a US citizen and GA is sitting on there ass and not registering with the DOJ to allow me to start training.They keep saying next week,next week......I got all my ratings there and when I started they said as long I had my work permit I was ok.Wrong and they knew it at the time,just wanted my $$$.So nowI'm looking for an alternative,any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Got your pm asking for more info....and i really dont know much about them except they are the guys who sell the right seats for ameriflight and some other cargo companies. If you do a search on eagle jet or eagle jet international youll find some heated discussions.
My only advice is to read those over and make a choice that you feel is ethical, will benefit career, and you can afford financially (thats as big as ethics for most of us).

i would like to know what companies are whoring their right seats to eagle junk. periodically, i am a 135 customer, and i refuse to fly in an airplane that has what i will call an incomplete crew.
flying has simply come down to which one of you jokers can borrow the most money/ has the best credit to ruin.
if i was pic in an airplane, and my company supplied me with an eagle jet FO (read F*ck Off), #1 i'd start looking for a new job, and #2, rest assured that the eagle junk flunky wouldn't get a second of stick time (read "you ain't touching sh*t on my liability, come back when the ink is dry on your certificate!).
the funny part of this the following:
newly minted commercial pilot mortgages house to go to eagle jet, in hopes of stepping to the front of the line in a highly competative job market.
eagle jet fulfills their obligation, sends pilot home.
with <1000 hrs TT, and probably less than 50% of that pic, new commercial pilot turned whore FO realizes that he is still not competative for the kind of job that he was hoping to jump up to.
eagle jet laughs all the way to the bank.
whore fo now has to become a cfi and beg for a job at the local fbo just to keep current, until one day, he is qualified to take a seat he didn't buy. oh, and wait, the monthly mortgage payment is still due!
no pilot wins in a pft situation. save your money, take your time. what you are trying to hurry off to, righ now, may not be worth the cost.
you are paying money to take a seat in an airplane that the faa says MUST be filled. that means that the plane DOESN'T fly with one pilot, it MUST have two. in a perfect world, that would mean that an operator would have to PAY two pilots. PFT @ eagle jet just cost another qualified pilot a job. the seat you are pft'ing in at eagle jet is one more job that is NOT going to be available for YOU to apply for when you ARE qualified.
many on here will give you hell about pft, and tell you how you will not be passing an interview with them and what not. i don't know if all of that is true, but i just don't see an advantage to doing it. i don't see one thing on eagle jet's website that fits into what i know about aviation, that would make me recommend giving them one dime.
if you have money to burn, get more ratings. if you seriously want to learn more about a certain airplane, go do it. take honest to god training from somebody who is known for giving good training (FSI, Simuflight, Simcom....). when it comes to building a career and doing things right, there are NO short cuts.
now, where's that list, let's name names.
1. ameriflight?
2. ?
