Mr. Davis be careful. Any type of PFT (pay for training) operation such as these is not a very good thing to be involved with on your way up the pilot ladder. You can see this thread has gone all of 8 posts and it is already getting hot which is typical of PFT debates. Most pilots are radically opposed to PFT on principle and if you perform PFT then you will be alienating a LOT of pilots in so doing. It amounts to what most pilots feel is a black mark on your background, and it will travel with you much like a DUI or a felony. There are better ways to get into the industry and you are going to be a part of the pilot community longer than you will ever work for a single company.
