May I ask, what are your hours?
The training is actually fun. You spend a couple of weeks in Pompano Beach going over the the CE208B, company policies/procedures/op specs/135 regulations. Written test at the end. You get your picture made in uniform and hat, you'll look just like a bonafide airline pilot. Then they'll wisk you away for a weeks worth of Flight Safety or FlyRight training in a level D simulator. This is the fun part, no really. You'll be flipping switches and spinning knobs, making call outs, running the checklists..it's just awesome (I say that with sincerity). Be prepared to hand fly & KFC150 autopilot/Garmin 530 precision/non precision approaches, a hold and a few missed, emergencies galore. It's nothing to get worked up about though because your working as a crew. PNF handles all the extra curricular activities and everything just goes sooo smooth. The sim flys just like a sim, fly the instruments and use a light touch (use both the armrests to steady your forearm and fly with your wrist/fingers). After the 135 checkride in the sim you may go straight to base or home for a breather.
