As for me being what is wrong with aviation today. That kind of sounds like a personal insult. Was that what it was meant to be?

I don't disagree with it either. But using a students checkbook to pad your logbook is just wrong. I am not here to rope people for money. I am here to teach, learn, and make a pay check. It just burns my butt when people are just in the coockpit with a student to get their hours.

You misunderstood. Over the years, AMF has had a number of foreign national CAPTAINS who met the 135 IFR PIC qualifications before they were hired. The person you met was an FO who DID meet applicable legal requirements for that position.

I got the impression that he was flying by himself. We were there all day and never saw any other pilots with him. We didn't see him leave though as we left before he did.

He wasn't flying by himself. The foreign guys who come in and sit SIC are doing it through a pay-for-training program. They have their jobs lined up in their home country once they reach a certain hourly requirement. (For KAL the students need to get 1000 hours TT)
In the case of KAL they pay for the students training and give a per-diem and living allowance, which the student then has to repay once flying the line for KAL. The students are on a 10 year contract.
Ameriflight and a lot of 135 operators participate in this program, and in our ops specs it allows for us to have FOs in all our aircraft.

I am actually really surprised that some of these comments were brought up, I am guessing some of you guys are fairly new at this, as these are not very complicated issues.
As for a good CFI "caring soley about his/her student" it is a delicate balance, of what you need and what you can help them with along the way.
No, there is NO delicate balance as you suggest. No, a good CFI does not plan the student's lesson based on the need of the CFI's time building and experience requirements.....NOT AT ALL.
Be a professional and do your job. The student pays you to do a job. He does not to pay you to build time.
What is this world coming to?!

I can't speak for him. However, this philosophy of planning the lesson based on anything other than the student's benefit does indeed contribute to what is wrong with aviation today.......what is wrong with the world today.

Jesus... this is why we're called the "me" generation. I couldn't imagine going 50 miles on each training flight, and I fly a 150 knot "primary trainer..." Plus, the examiner isn't going to give the student 50 miles worth of time to set up between approaches, so you're just setting the guy up for failure as you're raping his wallet.

I have a quick question...... So all of the IFR training I did where I flew to other airports to shoot approaches.... Would that count towards P135 XC requirements even though I did not land? Just performing Missed and then returning back to original point of Origin? Wouldn't this be just like the Bomber Issue? I am guessing not... It Does require a Landing Correct for Part 135...
Since I am a fairly new , and not quite sure the direction I am going......I am trying to structure my log book to satisfy both the 135 and ATP Requirements so that it is done no matter which route I end up...
