Be aware....

ASG-jet is an outfit that sells SIC time in Lears.
They quoted me $27000 for like 800 hrs.
But it's all SIC no PIC. Makes you wonder what they have you do:
seatwarmer?button pusher?knob twister?
They promise to hire you at the end as a captain if they like you and you fit the company profile. Guess what, I don't think that anybody does.
Besides what kind of visa do they put you on?
M1=student visa not allowed to work.
J1=student visa allowed to work in field of training but you can only get a J1 if you start out from scratch so not flying Lears.
Any other sort of visa will set you back thousands(!) of dollars.
$30/hr for a Lear seems to be a tremendous deal but you're still paying for the job.
Anybody else any comments?
