Default Key Lime Air's SIC to PIC program

I'll be starting it in January and was hoping someone that has been through it (or a similar program) might share their experience. The folks seem to be great, it's just always nice to hear a first hand account. Many thanks!

Of course they seem great.... You're paying to sit right seat in a single pilot certified airplane. Usually the aircraft make revenue with that seat empty but heck now that someone is willing to pay thousands of dollars to occupy it why wouldnt they be nice to you....
The question is how they treat you when they're paying you to fly.

Pay to play is due to make a huge comeback.

I understand that this seems rediculous, but that aside, it appears no one here has first hand experience with the program. Anyone, anyone?

Since I'm stuck on the road today and have nothing better to do I'll bite.

Key Lime Air - Colorado's #1 Air Charter Service

First I don't have the direct experience that you asked for, but you now have two threads going on the topic so you must be serious about doing the SIC program.

About 12 to 15 years ago pay for training was more common, but movement was happening and I can see the argument for it.....maybe.

Today and for the next 5+ years I do not see much happening.

How old are you, how much time do you have? Are you a CFI/CFII/MEI, if not why not?

My opinion only, save your money, get ratings the legitimate way, pay your dues and if you want in this industry bad enough you'll make it in time.

Good luck and Happy T-day
