P-f-t
The problem with this scheme is two-fold. 1) There are no guarantees of hire after you fly off the 250, at Gulfstream or elsewhere, which means that if your other totals are deficient you will have to up them another way to qualify for the regionals, perhaps by instructing. So much for circumventing flight instructing. In the meantime, your 250 hours of 121 are growing stale by the day. 2) A great many pilots who worked hard to achieve their goals dislike those who try to end-run they system via P-F-T. One might encounter them at the pilot interview board. They may well blackball you. So much for the 250 hours of 121 time vaulting you past the "masses." In the meantime, you or whoever funded your P-F-T tuition are out the money.
Don't forget about the 250 hours of so-called Part 121 "experience" gained from the 1900's right seat. This intent of this "experience" is to vault you past the masses into a job with Gulfstream or some other regional.ShyFlyGuy said:

All your questions will be answered thoroughly if you run a board search of P-F-T. Search "P-F-T" and "Gulfstream" for abundant discussion of both.runninhorn said:
