Has anyone here does the Eaglejet Navajo or Turboprop SIC program?

Were you able to log the time?

I have FAA licenses and am seriously considering doing the Eaglejet program.

I need an additional 800 hours asap, and as much as I don't like it, it looks like I'm going to have to pay to get them because no one will talk to me with my 270 hours.

If anyone knows any programs that are better than Eaglejet, please PM me.

Please no sermons on the evils of PFT. I've read them all.

If you have the right to work in the USA and you still think you need the EagleJet program you lack the judgement to be a good pilot. There are entry level jobs available all over the US.
EagleJet is a joke. You are an SIC in a single pilot pilot aircraft. Noone is likely to be too impressed with PA-31 SIC.
BTW, I don't consider EagleJet to be PFT in the traditional sense. You're more of a passenger. And just like any passenger you're subject to be being bumped off the airplane. Be sure to ask the EagleJet salesscumbag what happens if there is some extra freight. Do you stay on the airplane or does the freight take precedence?
To be called a pilot you have to be someone required for the aircraft to fly.

I do not have the right to work in the US.

God I wish I did.

I agree with much of what you're saying, but I need time my logbook.

I understand my friend. I've met some Europeans doing the EagleJet program. You don't have the far reaching opportunities that are available in the US which is exactly why I prefaced my comments based on your right to work in the US.

I don't know anything about hiring practices in your country so I can't tell you whether EagleJet is a good idea. For US citizens it's a bad move. Overseas it might be a major career boost.

Hi there,

I don't know your financial situation, but if you could find some extra cash you should definately try to go for something bigger. Try to join a program where you are actually a required crew member. B1900 or shorts 360 or something similar. This may or may not be recognized by the athoritys in your country but it will be recognized by every company. With the industry being what it is right now you might want to consider a type rating. Companies are looking for 737 and 320 pilots all over the world and i guess that it would add up to app the same money. Anyways, I did buy some me time to get my career going and if it hadn't been for 911 it would have worked. I bought time with a compay calle central air south west based in kansas city. They are flying the rockwell aerocommander (piston twin)
You are a "surplus pilot" but you will gain fantastic experience. Remember that the hours alone will not get you a job, it will only take you to the interview but then you'll have to have some knowledge and experience. This was a nice outfit and i liked my stay there. don't know if they still are doing this but if they are I can strongly recomend it. i think there is another outfit called alpine air that does the same.

good luck and feel free to pm
