Hi guys,
First of all congratulations for the beautiful community you guys made, I been reading a lot here when I was in need of answer.
Well today i just got my first pilot job in a charter company operating from Sanford international, FL
I was offer to fly the IAI Westwind II, it's an old A/C and from what I been reading online is really good on maintenance and cheap for the costumers.
I will have to pay for my type rating at Flight Safety in Wilmington (they will give me the money back during the 2 years contract that i am about to sign); I have some concerns regarding the type rating on this A/C... since my low hours I been suggest from the HR to do a SIC course (that i will still pay full price as a TR) and eventually when I feel comfortable finish the TR, she suggested this path because in case of a failure of one of the exams they will have to cancel the contract for insurance policy. I am not sure is a good idea anyway..
The class starts mid of February, I would like to prepare my self in the best way so I'm ready to accept any suggestions.
