BTW, what do you think the pay rate should be for a SIC in the NW part 91? Thanks.

Depends on where in the northwest you are talking about. Bend Oregon for instance will be noticeably lower than Seattle because of the cost of living. In Seattle I would say 35-45k.

The winner is likely going to be LOFT in San Diego. Anyone else wants to chime in on pay. I am sitting down with the boss at the end of the week.

Easy piece of advice for you. Do not pay for your own training!!! If the potential employer wants you to front the training costs, don't do it. I think it's a bad idea and you will hate yourself in the morning.

I generally hate myself in the morning but my boss is paying for it.

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!
