Though it’s not a PFT or PFJ outfit the time is basically worthless outside of that company. The reason is no other company will really think you did any work in a single engine, fixed gear, slow as yugo airplane. You won't learn allot about flying IFR because it rarely is. What you will learn is how crappy aviation can really be and once you leave you will appreciate every decent job you have.

I saw some things while flying that can only be described as beautiful, however this company seriously made me absolutely miserable even in "paradise". In the time I was there I made it to the beach less than a handful of times came the closest to quitting aviation I ever have.

When I went there was a sixth month contract which I broke without a second thought. The DO and CP at the time said they couldn't blame me and wished me luck.

I don't know of any SIC's who have been allowed or been around long enough to upgrade.

As for the time its almost embarrasing to have in my logbook. I have the entries there but I don't count any of the time towards any sort of logbook time. I have worked really hard to redeem myself so that in my mind and my future interviewers can look past it.
