An FBO I worked at for a few summers had two KingAirs for 135 charter. On the empty part 91 legs, it was okay with the pilot to have some FBO kid fly as much as they wanted since the pilot was a CFI (and also the designated examiner for most of the checkrides anyone did at this airport). On the part 135 legs with passengers in the back, the FBO kid could still sit up front, they just couldn't touch the controls.

I never got to do it but it was common.

A setup like this could give you lots of chances at getting up there and flying it.
