Question Pay for Lear 35 type rating?

Looks like 135 operators are starting to require one to pay for their own types:

It's a buyer's market. And pilots are the sellers.

They will get 100 applications for this. It’s 2008 all over again.

A SIC type rating in most airplanes require very little to be done.3 take offs and landings and a few other minor things.
sounds like they want you to pay for your initial sims for their 135 certificate.

The LR-JET is a type has a very limited life left to it.

If you paying for a rating, get a desirable one, not a Lear 35.

Yep, and half the applicants will have thousands of hours and multiple types. What a mess.

I bet a lot of the small time 135 operators are snapping back to their craptastic ways now that they have the upper hand again. I wonder how many of the operators that adopted an 8/6 to attract pilots will go back to rolling rest?

0 as long as we don’t let them since retroactive rest is illegal.

Yeah, it was illegal then too. Nobody cared. The operators knew it, the pilots knew it, and as long as the duty logs were filled out 'correctly', so did the POIs. It's like that scale that sits unused in the baggage compartment for weighing luggage.

You're right that it won't happen if the pilots won't allow it, but in today's world that's exactly what I'm worried about.

I'm not looking for one, I have a good job, I just posted this because it was causing quite the stir on Facebook.

But if one was going to buy a type rating, what would you recommend?
