No flame, looking for PFT

[CDVdriver]

I know how the majority here thinks about PFT, but bear with me.
A European contact is looking for Multi Turbine or jet time 250-500 hrs in about 6-9 months or so.
Any good places to recommend ?
Gulfstream , TAB express ?
It doesn't matter what my personal opinion is on PFT, I just want to help him out and improve his chances back in Europe.
Any advise would be appreciated.

No flame

Good luck with that.

Don't do it!
Why accelerate the race to the bottom?
Make the companies pay for training, not the employees!

flame bait....

Sorry bud, but I'd rather not help you help a foreigner come to this country and take a job that could go to someone who actually has to stay here.

Good luck to your friend, but if he/she wants to fly in Europe, then let him fly in Europe.

I have a 700 word paper due today. Since I am man of few words, I was wondering if I could just use the first 700 words in the dictionary. Do You think that would work, or am I going to have problems with grammer and the APA format?

Or, would I have better luck spell checking and merging two of my posts from this past week and using those?

That's brilliant!!! I wish I had thought of that back when I had to write papers.

Wrong place dude!!!

PFT is a legitimate way to get into this business. Folks may rant and rave about it, but if it gets you that first job that launches your career you have the last laugh. Only other way I know of to get into the turbine business is the right seat programs at SimuFlite and FSI,

Strange...I got into the turbine business without PFT or a right seat program...

Robbing liquor stores at gunpoint to fund your flight training is a way to get into the aviation business. It is not, however, a legitimate way of entering the field.

PFT isn't a legitimate method, either. You can spend a king's ransom to get a little turbine time, get that entry job at Gulfstream or wherever, and spend the rest of your life in the left seat of a 1900 or Brasilia. You see, the industry is flush with qualified pilots who didn't buy their way in, and the people who sit across the table from you in interviews don't think much of the PFT career path.

I'm new at the whole turbine thing, but I got here without having to sh*t on the industry.

And as a bonus, I can still look at myself in the mirror at the end of the day.

Nah, I'd just sit down and write all the swear words you know in a line, including those in other languages. If yer gonna git an "F", might as well have fun...

Once again I must say....

If only Bill Gates could invent a giant hand that would come out of the computer screen and smack the crap out of people who post stuff like this we'd all be better off.

So did I, but I had to give uncle sam years of my life for it. All I'm saying is and I am responsible for hiring pilots, it is a career path. If the military isn't a choice you have to be either luckey or make something happen with something like PFT. As NJCapt pointed out the industry is flush with qualified pilots.
