Ok I had to share this crap. I recieved an email today from a company that I guess got my resume off of one of the online job boards I belong to. Here is something to laugh at and at the same time cry when you see people actually take up the offer. This is the copy I recieved in my email today minus my name and the senders name. However the name of the company appears to be Airojet Charters in Ft Lauderdale. Now looking at the "cost" of training, I could go to AriBen Aviators in Ft Pierce, get my ATP done and a couple hundred hours of multi then go take a better paying position flying for someone like Quest or Air Cargo Carriers or someone like that. Thought I would share this as most will say, DO NOT ACCEPT PFT, if you do it only encourages companies to do this.
My name ,I have seen and printed your resume. You may meet the minimums that the insurance company requires. We cannot and will not pay for anyone's training. Are you willing and able to pay for such training? The cost for the 135 Indoc is $500 and the required simulator training is approximately $12,000.00. We pay SICs $150.00 per flight day and $150.00 per day per diem, to cover your meals and hotel costs. We expect you to take 14-15 day tours while doing air ambulance and we plan on having an executive charter Lear based at FXE for regular charters. Below is the basic outline required from the insurance company. Also, do you have any turbine time? If this is of interest to you, please let me know, thanks, PFT Scum name
I spoke to one of the underwriters at W. Brown. He wasn't the underwriter we normally work with on your policy, but he gave me some guidelines for minimum SIC requirements:
1500 TT / 750-1000 MEL / 50-100 hours Jet time / and School in the Make and Model.
Â
These are not hard and fast rules, just general guidelines. Basically it comes down to a case by case consideration.  Other than make and model time, Jet Time will be the biggest factor in approving the pilots. He said he could be flexible with the Total Time if almost all of it was multi-engine time, and the pilot had a decent amount of jet time…
Â
The one thing that was consistent is that they would all have to go to school in the make and model. If they had previous experience in the Lear 25, but haven't been to school recently, they may make a 30 day extension for the training requirement
