Thumbs up

I understand you're just trying to build time, but there are other ways to do it. Problem is that once you build your hours and try to get a decent job there wont be any thanks to these places which are contributing to the problems we have. Put yourself in the place of management. Why would you pay your pilots a good salary when there are others out there willing to work for free? Also take into consideration that places like these drive real airlines out of business, by offering ship airfares since they don't have to pay their flight crews. Look for other ways to meet minimums for example: flight instructing, banner towing, crop duster, sight seen, traffic watch, taking skydivers. Make friends at the airport ask everyone for a job, eventually you'll find something. Invest your money in your college education. Airlines not only look at your hours.
