Default Journey Aviation?

Is it worth buying your own type rating? Pay/schedule? Home base?

Go or no go?

It’s almost never worth it to buy your own type rating.

It worked out good at PIA until it didn't.

My understanding is that they reimburse you for the type over the course of your first year. Would be worth it at that point or no? Also, does anyone know what pay or QOL looks like? Do you have to live near Boca or is it commutable?

I don’t know about QOL, being near KBCT... etc.

However, a type rating is an investment, your asset, and is portable. While employed, each reimbursement reduces your overall cash outlay for the rating, while providing you with an income.

Consult with an accountant as how the reimbursement for the type rating can be structured as non-taxable income.

The reimbursement is payed back without taxes being taken out of it. It’s something they’ve been doing for a while. They do it to protect themselves from people getting the type and leaving.

I really enjoyed my time at Journey. Great crews and cool destinations. Challenging schedule, but a job I’ll always look back at as one that I enjoyed. Living in base, TEB/S.Florida, will make QOL better. I commuted, while not impossible, it’s not recommended as you’ve got to have a place of your own while in base. Awesome learning experience.
