Rule exceptions

There are quite a few more very lucky people that nabbed SIC jobs with low total time. That I know of...

Lucky is the operative word. More power to you if you can get them without paying for them. However, for most of the masses, their first jobs are as flight instructors. Nothing wrong with that, of course, except for the "disappointment" some have after being led to believe they would be hired to fly SR-71s at 250 hours.

There is ample competition for CFI jobs; the competition for non-instructing jobs for 250-hour pilots has always been off the charts.

You guys are giving me a great idea for making money and paying off a king air. I'll have to run a king air training school and charge like 90 grand, then when the school is over with, I'll hire back the best candidates at 5 bucks a load to fly jumpers in my plane on the weekends. I could run the course all winter, fly jumpers in the summer.

It's a terrific idea . . . .

You could call yourself an "airline" and offer to fly pax around at $79 a pop. Your students could range in age from 20 to 50. You could base your operation near Daytona Beach. Your pilots would be different than other airline crews because you would require them to wear their hats in the KingAir cockpits

I have the perfect name for your school. TAB Express. Nahhhh, it's been thought of already.
