I never thought that I would consider this but heres my situation and I need some advice. The company that I fly for as captain on a Learjet also operates Gulfstreams. I have to go to recurrent training soon which will require me to sign a training bond (yeah, I know it sucks). Not wanting to sigh a training bond just to stay current in the Lear I decided to approach the owner of my company and inquire about going to school for the Gulfstream. If Im going to sign a contract, then I might as well get something out of it like a new type rating, right??
Well, a GII type is a whole lot more expensive then Lear recurrent so the owner offered me the following deal. He would pay the amount of the Lear training (about 8,000 dollars) towards a Gulfstream type and I would pay the difference (about 15,000 dollars). He would then repay me over the course of the year the 15,000 dollars that I spent. So, at the end of the year I would have a GII type and it will have cost me nothing. The catch of course is that I would have to front 15,000 grand. So, what do you all think? Should I run with this or punt?
