I hope I'm misreading this statement and you didn't have to pay for your own training on the F50EX[/QUOTE]

Not a PFT thing. Let it go, there are other reasons that some would "pay for there own training."

Other than contract work, got a few examples where I will need to "pay" for my own training?

At the moment, I am my employer.

Just like the rest of us, you'll go wherever your employer negotiates the best deal.

I called Flight Safety about some training and part of the recorded message while hoding was how Flight Safety instructors can do contract flying for you.

First, I always assumed they weren't actively promoting the use their instructors as ICP's because of liability. As mentioned earlier, you can't hit pause. Also, I heard sure some of their instructors are FS Academy interns and/or have no operational experience (just sim time).

I still want to know where User997 gets his avatars from. I still can't find them after looking for a couple of months.

I don't like the fact that the G550/450 family is forced to go to FSI SAV.

Wilmington, DE is getting the next G-550 sim, they should have it by the end of the year and it should be online sometime first quarter next year...

Yeah, but we'll be stuck in SAV. All the guys like to hit up the Gulfstream reps for "dinner"... TC

I've had good and bad experiences with both. The FSI sales rep in my area has certainly been willing to work with me on price, although he usually can't beat Simuflite.

The big problem with FSI is that each training center is it's own unique deal. Some are good, some are bad. All are different.

I'd go a step further and say that each program is it's own deal. I had great King Air training in ICT at FSI. ATL was marginal on the 300/350.
On the other hand, the guys who taught me the Falcon 50 at Simuflite had actually flown the AIRPLANE.

Dave Davenport. There is a name I havent heard in a while. If it the same guy that I think it is....He used to work at American Flyers back in the mid-early 90's. We used to call him triple D and he is an Air Force Academy graduate. If this is the same guy at the SAV training center...that is about par for the course for him.
