It was just an opportunity i was considering and wanted to get some information on it. That answers my questions though, thanks rick.
I just went through SimuFlite with two right-seat guys. They were both quite young with little experience, but they sit through the entire ground school and one of them went through the entire simulator course with the other guy in class. He said that after 40 sessions they got a SIC qual and after 80 sessions got a PIC qual. The time might not help you that much, and the PIC qual without any time in the airplane might not help that much, but the opportunity to network with the people coming through the multiple programs has to be worth it! If nothing else - you are bartering your time for training / qualifications.
I can put you in contact with the guy that just went through if you want me too.
