If he won't pay for the basic costs of having an aircraft and crew then where does it stop? I spoke to a King Air driver in LAS recently who paid for his own training and had to take cash out of his own account at an ATM so the owner could catch a cab to his hotel. This is unacceptable!!!
If, for some outlandish reason you do decide to do it then I wish you the best of luck. Just try not to set the bar so low for yourself and the rest of us.
Cheers!
Roger all the above on Simuflite. Just got out of recurrent and still have a fun time there every time I go. BTW, my initial type was $12,500 2 years ago with a corporate account discount. The price varies greatly from what I hear, and if your company can sign a training contract with Simuflite you can usually get a break. Good luck!
