I'm not going to go so far as calling them wh*res, but come on! I would hope that the professionals that run the program see how this hurts the industry as a whole (in turn hurting the university's ability to generate aviation income).
Besides, if it doesn't require two crewmembers, why make them pay for the time? It's not loggable anyway.
I've been flying the CE-525 (CJ, CJ1, CJ2, and CJ3) for 5 years now. Most of that time is SIC. The type certificate actually says that it is certified for 1 or 2 pilots. I've asked a couple of FAA guys if it is loggable. In a case where the plane is certified for either 1 or 2 pilots, then they say that SIC time is loggable.
