$7500 is cheap compared to hiring some random CFI who might wash out after 100 hours of IOE.

Anyhow, it's news to me that the bonus covers SIC types. Wow.

My SIC Lear 35 ride was harder than my SkyWest CL-65 PIC ride. It was essentially the same ride with the same maneuvers as what I experienced at SkyWest, except that we didn't use autopilots or flight directors...and the Learjet is a much tougher aircraft to master. That one took place in a Flight Safety simulator. I thought my SKW CL-65 ride was so easy due to autopilots....
My CASA 212 and Falcon 20 SIC rides were all conducted in the actual airplane and gave me very valuable experience which the PIC CL-65 ride in a simulator never provided. Some of the maneuvers and approaches were conducted in actual instrument conditions.

CFI is more work, but not every piston prop pilot can handle the speed and complexity of a glass jet. Apples to oranges.
A type rating is a good indicator for training success, which saves money and maximizes staffing. A pilot hired in the fall to staff the holidays who washes out on Dec 15th can't be replaced in time.

Is there a simple place to look up, what airframes are based at which bases?

Yup, don't know much 'bout learnin'. No siree.
And I stand by my perspective on an SIC type rating. You stand by yours. We'll all be happy.
