I thought they shut that down? Anyway, Alpine isn't too bad of an outfit... at least out of BIL they aren't. I've never seen a PFT FO over there. All I hear is they pay alright and have those things all WAAS'd up.
Anyhow, I thought I'd mention it. Carry on.

So working will cost you less than renting a plane for leisure. Awesome. In other news, working in a sugar cane field in Hawaii costs less than taking a weeks vacation to Hawaii!
Hate them all you want but they do have a point. Cheapest C172 around me is $150/hr. 100 hrs of that rental would be $15,000.

They are comparing that you paying for a job as being the same as paying for a leisure activity, like renting a C172.
You don't have to pay for a job, the fact that they are offering PFT is incredibly despicable.
Wait...didn't you do some sort of PFT or Mesa pilot group or something?
Sure the whole thing is screwed up but honestly I envy the owner of this biz. I'm sure he's laughing all the way to the bank.. It's a single pilot operation hauling this cargo around in the 1900 but every once in a while he can also make money from some desperate kid who will pay 15k to work for him for 300 hours basically acting as a secondary insurance policy to the real PIC in case he ****s the bed in the plane!!! Genius.

"Incredibly despicable" I would say growing a non-union airline while displacing and downgrading an ALPA carrier is incredibly despicable.

I understand, but at the end of the day the logbook time and money out of wallet still comes out more in favor of their option than renting an overly priced ripoff C172.Apples and bowling balls.

Except virtually no one rents aircraft to just built "1000 hrs" or something. Sure it happens and we hear about it, but out of 100 pilots I'd put money down that 98 or so actually earned money while getting flight hours, in some way. Anyone who has that kind of money to burn can do it flying a variety of aircraft most likely.
Could you log PIC on a part 91 empty leg? Isn't the definition of logging PIC time whenever the "person is the sole manipulator of the controls in an aircraft he or she is rated in" for part 91?

So if I can come up with about 75K, I can log almost 1000TPIC... And that means I could be hired by a major!
