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!

You talking about the pay for job program they have over there?

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.

You are brave, I'll give you that!

Bail out man...don't pay

I can't believe there are still people doing the Pay to Play thing!

Pay to play is due to make a huge comeback.

Starting to seem like stupid as well :D.

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

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

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 :)
