"First Officer Programs"

Hi folks,

I'm looking for comments from corporate pilots regarding how they view job applicants that buy hours thorough one of the various "First Officer" or "Turbine/Jet" Programs that are bassed in the States where at the end of it, you walk away with 250-500 hours SIC. Is this viewed with the same distain that some associate with buying type ratings for jobs with airlines or does how the hours are obtained not really matter?

Also, are there any pilots out there who have done the program and returned to the UK to fine gainful employment?

thanks in advance,

Chips
