Since the guy who offered me the job was the CP, I called him up the next day and he confirmed the email, thereby going back on the training agreement. I resigned immediately, too many red flags for me at that point.
What this meant: the year-long training agreement would not start until they sent me to school, the CP couldn't tell me when that would be (he mentioned *maybe* September/October). Could not log flight time in the jet, especially as SIC, since the company still had OpSpecs A015, and I just plain didn't trust them at that point. Not a good way to start your new employees.
Interesting as I am the CP for Volato, and I would have remembered having that conversation, especially telling SICs they cannot log flight time (because that’s inherently false). We are an Eligible On Demand Operator, which requires you to have two fully qualified crew members (hence, required by regulation and thus logged time).
We have A015 for the single pilot repositions/Mx shakedowns, but all passenger flights and 99 percent of our repositions are two pilot operations.
