I hate to open myself up to this, but here goes! I'm curious as to the corporate pilot's opinion on a pilot candidate offering to pay for his initial training during the job interview or resume cover letter? I grew up around corporate aviation reading Pro Pilot, could say APU at 2, and new all the airplanes that had them by the age of 5. Yet because of my lack of Corporate experience, I'm at a huge disadvantage when applying for corporate pilot positions. When I'm applying for the same job as a less experienced, less personable, loyal, all of the above pilot, who has a type rating in the specific aircraft, I simply can't compete regardless of my exceptional professional military background. I do not wish to lower the standards of this great industry, but do wish to attain a desirable position. Will this action hurt our industry? Would it be socially unacceptable? If not, should this be offered in the cover letter to increase my chances of the interview? Fire away guys, all opinions appreciated!!
