Hi!
after reading this thread I was very interested in some F/O experience time (or any line training time), because I already have a rating but very few hours.
So I contacted two companies who are offering something like this.
But hell, I never imagined it would be THAT expensive! Are there any aspects which I don't know and which makes it reasonable?
I always thought that guys in line training, who get not much more than a clap on the shoulder are a quite cheap thing for companies. Anyway the companies are earning a lot of money while you are flying an aircraft for them from A to B an many passengers/freight on board. So why should anyone buy F/O time to gain some weeks of experience when one can easily buy a Mercedes S-Class for the same amount of money???
Any answers?
