I may have made a mistake and I need to know what you guys think about it. I paid for a few hundred hours in the right seat of a turboprop at a company that required an SIC. It was a great experience because I wasnt "babysitted", I was a required crewmember that had an equal share of duties. People at my flight school (including CFI's and cheif pilot), and other airline pilots encouraged me to do it. But, I just joined flightinfo.com about a week ago and ran a search on PFT (too late i guess). There were so many negative and violent comments toward people who PFT'ed that it bothered me. Some of them are so mean that I'm sure if I met one on the street I'd be beaten up, I mean, look at some of these posts!!! I am now being paid at the company which is rare because they usually dont hire the guys that pay for their time. It's only happened one other time in the past 2 years and I am fortunate to have a job, although I would prefer a 121 job.
But now I'm thinking I made a huge mistake. From reading the posts about PFT, I think I'm doomed from the airlines because I did this. The regionals are obviously my goal and I'm hoping the PFT on my record will not hinder that. Go easy on me
