Sounds like a great program. . .

Especially if it's much like Key Lime or any other SIC PFT outfit. . .

The only SIC program I could ever recommend, is AirNet's.

Comparing CASW to Key Lime...ouch!

However, I do agree... getting paid by AirNet is better than PFT, but it looks like green hornet is from KC, so for him, CASW might be a better choice for him.

Just like at the airlines, QOL sometimes is more important to a person than money. Besides, paying for flight time in the Commander at CASW is a better deal than renting a "training" twin and not getting any real world experience with the rental.

Besides, didn't most of us in this profession pay for training at some point in our career?

Of course we did. . .for most of us, it ended with the last addition to our Instructor Certificate. For me, it ended at Instrument Instructor.

Also noticed that I didn't compare that company to Key Lime. I said "if it's much like..." Not, it's like Key Lime's.

Thanks all for the info. I am kinda putting the cart before the horse as I'm just now taking my PPL checkride hopefully this week. I live about 5 minutes from MKC so CASW looks like a reasonable goal to keep my QOL local.

Stands for Second-in-Command. Some are better than others but the main basis is that you are paying for an opportunity to sit in the front of an airplane and work. I am not all that keen on the idea of 135 freight companies charging people to come to work but to each his own.

The bottom line is this: if the company is making revenue off the flight, the pilot should be getting paid.

There are way too many opportunities to get paid to fly out there to even begin justifying a pilot actually paying a company to do work for them.

If half of the regionals are hiring pilots who posses a temporary commercial license and a heartbeat, why would you PAY to sit int he right seat of anything?
