excuse me, but I log pic and i seat left seat. Period
Hmm, what does the insurance company think about that?
Do you really sign for the airplane and keep the responsibilty for the flight. or do ya have a baby-sitter in the right seat that is the "Real" PIC...?
I have done office duty in the past and looked over the stack of resumes that kept piling up.
If a low time dude with 300 hours claimed a bunch of PIC time in crafts that would normally require a 3000 hour pilot on the pay-roll, ya knew it was fake and the resume went in the trash basket.,,No questions asked.
So be careful out there, it should look real, otherwise ya are wasting yer money.
Way back when, I spent my 2.5K dough paying training and the checkride for a DC-3 type rating.
Got hired in the right seat of a 3, , and a few months later flew left side.
Figured that every chiref pilot in the business knew what a DC-3 was, and that ya could not pencil in a rating.
Guess it worked, next job was a DC-8.
200 hours later, the 747 job came around..Meal ticket for life.
So, uh like the other guys on this thread said: Don't blow good money logging twin time, that will always come with a pay-check.
Hows about getting a Citation rating instead?
No, it is not quite "Pay for Training" like the boys over at Gulfstream, there ya get hired 'cause ya paid for the mandatory 135 training, (They probably call it 121 these days?)
Ya don't pay, ya don't get hired, ya don't fly.
Paying for a rating that stays on yer ticket for life can open more doors and be a better investment....The 135 ground school and simulator are only good for that particular company.
Then ya got to pay the next company, etc.....
Any type rating looks better on the resume as it proved ya can pass a high performance course and check ride, whereas anybody can log time in a C-421 for money, even my granny and her blind dog...
