about the Known Crew member, how much is the cost since you have to pick that up? right now the airline does that.
also for the parking at the airport, was it stated you have to pick up the fee for that to?
Thanks for the help.
KCM is 225ish every two years and 100ish in the off years.

If your domicile has an FBO that we contract with; signature, ATLANTIC, etc., you can check with them. Most of the time someone will let you park free, if they have room. Otherwise, yes parking is on your own. Where do you want to be based?@

Can someone tell me what the cost is at Gama for initial training in the KingAir? I've heard that recurrent training is 7.5k. Also, how strict is the company about collecting their prorated training fee back should you choose to leave prior to the end of year one? thanks to all in advance.

Cheers,

Cheers,
The training contract is a little north of 18000. They'll come after you for the prorated share.

1 week prior to indoc you will do mindnumbingly boring computer training.
Indoc was 4-5 days, I forget. This will include one day of water training. This is done at company headquarters in Shelton, CT
Aircraft training including systems, sim, and check ride takes about 2 weeks. This is all done at Flightsafety, CAE, etc.
3 8-day tours with an instructor.
You will most likely have breaks between each stage of training.
If my math is right, it’s about 4 weeks to checkride then another 6 weeks of ioe (including days off).
Pay starts 1st day of the computer training.

So after 1 week at indo and then 2 weeks at FSI, do you go home for a bit of time off or do they send you straight into IOE?

You will have a break. Mine was 2 weeks but your experience could be different from mine. I was also given about a weeks notice before the start of ioe.
