I was quoted $31,500 for G550 FSI Dallas recurrent. But that is in cash, veteran discount, recently laid off discount and the contract signed in the blood of my first born.
No I do not qualify for the FSI Pilot Proficiency Program for recently laid off pilots. My wonderful company cancelled our full service contract last year to save money.
Since I don't give a flip about reputation or even the quality of training and this is my 10th GV/550 training event, I will go with the MUCH cheaper CAE Dallas if I must pay for the sim on my own.
I was very recently "retired" from a major corporation one month before I was to attend annual recurrent training and all I want is the damn piece of paper saying I am sim current.
Or in a perfect world, I get hired by one of the 8 companies I have applied for in the G550 and they pay for my recurrent.
