He most likely went to CAE for a part 91 SIC course in the Phenom. You don't do a real checkride for a 91 course you just get the type at the end. You can also just do 3 bounces in it and get a type from the FSDO.

I mean, it's not completely worthless. Future employers are going to look favorably on the fact that you had jet training. It just won't count towards total time.

No links , I worked for a 135 operator in a management position and the owner gave me the chance to go for the type rating,it was the whole training 3 weeks at Dallas and 7 SIM sessions with a checkride at the end. Got the endorsement on my license for SIC priveleges only but I never completed the 135 checkride so I just jumped in it everytime that I could on the 91 legs under the impression that I was building time. Well it was good experience and hopefully the endorsement will look good in my license for future employers.

found anything out on the waiver?
Not too sure if the waiver is in effect yet, and I'm not too sure what the restrictions will be. I will call the recruiting department and see what the deal is.
The VFR captain positions aren't super competitive, they typically get people who are less experienced on multi-engine aircraft to fly them if I recall correctly.

I was wondering if you heard anything about that waiver and what it gear toward i.e. VFR 135 for IFR 135 or is it a Captain slot?
Thanks for looking into that.

I'd love to post the details, but I've only heard it by word of mouth, and we want to be 100% accurate when we post things on here. I'd like to see it in writing.

It's a captain thing after a couple hundred hours in the SIC program. Essentially bridges the gap between VFR and IFR mins, and has it's own restrictions.

Also, I was curious what the possible chance that a base would welcome a person that interested in wanting to check out the aircraft and talk to a few people to get an idea of the operations because I would like to check out the PDX base and been wondering about it since I work for UPS years ago as a ramp agent when I did the load and unload ofnthe aircraft and it was cool seeing the BE99 and PA31.
