Wow, just like the previous posters. Paying for a type for swa is totally different than paying to build time to attempt to get a job. The type rating isn't going to do you any good unless you already have pic 121 time or pic turbine/jet time for swa. Paying for 'just' 500 hrs of turbine 'sic' in a singe pilot certified a/c cost $35k or for some piston 'sic' time it's $26k for 500 hrs. You know damn right well that sic time is worthless. You get to watch someone do their job, they don't need you there. Why not just pencil whip the time in there and save yourself all the money?!
