not true pft
maybe i am looking at this wrong, but the eclipse program doesn't exactly meet my definition of pft, because the mentor is not going to be an employee of eclipse.... right? they will in reality be contract pilots.
if that is true, paying to qualify as a mentor is probably a good business opportunity for those qualified. i view this as being similar to a G-V contract pilot paying out of pocket for his recurrent training. both are expensive, but they each are a means to make a pretty good living. i think that there will be a healthy demand for mentor pilots, in as much as eclipse seems to have sold a bunch of planes already, and they are making the standards high enough in terms of experience that hopefully the whores won't qualify.
in my opinion, this would only wreak of pft if the mentor's paychecks came from eclipse, or if the mentor status is NOT something that you will own, to exercise for your benefit, at your discretion.
GIA = PFT
Eaglejet = PFT
paying 10k to work as an fo at a regional = PFT
i don't think this is quite the same as pft.
