Do not pay for a bizjet typerating.
As a fortunate one, who got into bizjet operation 2 years ago(no ratings nor experience if not count BE90 hours), and is involved flying aswell the management side, then is completely not understandable for me how to explain the owner, that we hired a new guy not for his experience/proved suitability, but only looked ability to pay his rating?
In other hand, to operate a midsize jet, means cost limit around 20,000 eur per month to spend for a/c. Typerating and following recurrent costs are
around 10% for year in operating costs. Why save a penny, when you can lose a million?
Third. Why we should hire a guy without any recomendations/time on type, when we can spend a little for suitable guy initial typerating and bond him afterwards? At least we can presume, that this guy will stay at us 2 years, or a bit more. If guy has paid his rating, he could go after a week when he finds greener pasture.
Only real value in bizjet operations are people who's work for this company. And owners are not usually plain stupid for not understanding that. A low-cost model in bizav will not work, because the bizav is not a low-cost business.
