Or be awarded a "job" right from the rip and the SIC training comes after accepting the position?
Btw, if you have a link so that I could check out their SIC program that would be appreciated.

Here's a link that took all of 15sec to find about a current opening at their DFW location.

Once hired they'll put you through the required ground school for the type of aircraft you'll be sim-ing. Mind you that you will do little flying, more checklist and flows and PNF duties. As far as flying an actual airplane that comes from networking with guys coming through the training facility and a little bit of luck.
You don't have to go to the Flight Safety Academy in Vero to be eligible. If you are there long enough and the schedule works out in their favor they will issue a type rating.
If you are more inclined to pursue a Corporate/Charter career it certainly can get you many contacts. If you want an airline career stay in the instructor's seat and keep building time. Even so part-time instructing should still be considered as you may have a good in at a Corporate operator but if you don't meet insurance mins you're SOL

Given my age...49...and having a possible 13-14 year career with a Part 121 outfit as the industry stands now, going Part 91 or 135 may be the best route for me. Just wanna get on with stable company/corporate flight department that has a good mix of a/c in their fleet and ride it out to retirement or when I'm unable to hold medical.
Thanks again!

I did the SimuFlite version in college. Met several people, made some contacts, got a few trips out of it. It's good experience and an easy way to get into a turbine aircraft and get some varied experience.
Not sure how FSI does it, but at SimuFlite you got the 8410 straight out of initial depending on your instructor and a PIC type after 80 sim sessions.

What is an 8410 and on average, how long does it take for to accumulate 80 sim sessions?

I interviewed there back in late winter, pretty cool setup. The guy went on vacation shortly and I never called them back. I'm going to get my ATP mins then start looking seriously.
