Get my point?
Remember, it's your logbook. You can log anything you want. But when you put something on a resume, and take your logbook to an interview, you invite them to flip through the entire thing and take it at face value.
Do what everyone else does, get your CFI/II and do some instructing. Actually build some time doing something instead of sitting there in an airplane you're unqualified to fly, where the other pilot doesn't even need you, staring out the window to pump up your logbook. :rolleyes:
No, actually I don't get the point! Here is an opportunity for a young guy or gal to get some good turbine experience! If it is legal then ....it is legal! The cost of flying has more than quadrupled since I took lessons in the early 80's! Folks have to be creative in getting flight experience that counts nowadays! 50 hours of dual in the right seat of a Citation is excellent experience no matter how you dice it! Besides, it is required to have a SIC per insurance requirements! Nothing to be ashamed of in my opinion.
