People get sucked in by low initial cost but they become expensive. Guess if they know all of this and willing to deal with the flaws...
Oh, yeah... never buy a type. If they can afford a plane they can afford to pay for your training. If I see a type and no time in it the resume goes in the trash (unless its a 737!).

Do either of you remember training cost from 10-15 years ago?

Are you actually based at SJU or that smaller GA airport close by? Things to think about in the summer in a 650.
I still have my digital CAE material - if you want any of it, just let me know.

We're based in SJU / TJSJ, not Isla Grande.
Thanks for the offer! I may take you up on it...if anything moves forward with the deal.

It wasn't. I just dont understand people that will pay for a piece of plastic without having time in the airframe.
