Like I've said before, you may have to justify it to the guy interviewing you behind the desk. If you want to go buy some Citation time knock yourself out. But when someone does a Gulfstream type program in a required FO seat and pays for it, that's a whole different animal. Newbies and wannabes just need to be aware that there could be negative consequences as a result of trying short cuts. Then again, there may not be. It's all about if it's worth the risk and/or if you can look at yourself in the mirror.
