You have 1000TT and you're looking at Gulfstream?? Just get your 100 hours of multi engine time and that's all you need to work at any of those places. Gulfstream is for the losers who are either too stupid to get experience and earn their right to work or are too old to care about becoming a CFI. A good way of knowing that a place is pay for training is if that's the only place you can be hired with your qualifications. Ie, Mesa air pilot development, if you were turned down by mapd could you be able to find a place to work? No. If you were turned down by gulfstream?
