If they're operating that fleet, they will pay for the training. If you have a choice, get the CL-605 or DA-2000, they are the most valuable. The other two are dead ends, IMO.

I'd take the Challenger 605 as my first choice. Second choice the Falcon 2000. They're the most marketable

Hawker 4000 would be my last. not too many of those flying around and not sure if it will succed

Falcon 2k, G200, CL605, CL 850, Hawker 4000 in that order. IMHO Falcon is the best one.

I'd like to hear the reasoning behind that rec. The G200 is out of production and never sold well. The Falcon is reasonably popular and jobs are there, about like the CL605. The CL850 rating is useless: as is the Hawker.

IMO none of the ratings there are worth more than the job they are attached to. EX: I'd take a G200 job with better pay and home life over a less desireable Challenger, hawker job etc.

From talking with recruiters/headhunters, all people are actively interested in today are experienced Intl Global/G550 guys with maybe some management experience. They claim there's actually a shortage there....?.....and as far as contracting, it's all overseas, long term, and on those same planes.

Just enjoy the job if it's a good place, who cares what they send you to train on. You will likely wind up on a few of them and will be sick of going to yet another school before you know it!

Good luck

I'd take the one that I was likely to get 500 PIC in so I'd be employable with that type.
As mentioned above companies with an opening are still getting swamped with qualified applicants with a type, PIC time, and currency.
