Gulfstream 650 type rating
I hear that FSI now has 4 sims up & running for the G650; 2x Savannah, 1x Wilmington and 1x Long Beach.
Would any GLF driver on this forum know if & when FSI's monopoly will be broken?
And also, would anyone know if they ever gave a discount on their 85,300USD price?

not likely. GLF has choosen FSI as their preferred vendor and I assume they got the data package at the best rate. Not much incentive for CAE or L3 to try to fight into such a small market....

I believe $83,000 USD is the old, lower price for 650 initial.
Big G chose FSI because CAE did such a poor job with the training on the GV/G550,,,, Not likely to change this view anytime this century.
Have you noticed that FSI center managers always sit near the front door and say Hello, and CAE managers are well hidden and protected by ranks of assistants.... Just sayin'

Thanx for the input, I now got a quote for the Global Vision for 55k, USD, and it's actually a GLEX rating with the differences course included. FSI also responded with 83500 for the G650. Slot availability is an issue with all of them.

I understand that at least in SAV if your name doesn't have a serial with it, you won't be given a seat on an initial class

G650 Type
Just got back from G650 recurrent in Savannah. The latest word about the 5th simulator is that a decision is yet to be made about where it will be based. The most likely locations are either one of the European locations or in the Middle East. This is the word from FSI themselves.
Regarding the cost of training. I typed out of the very first initial class in 2012 and back then the cost was $98600 as I recall. Later the cost for initial went over the $100,000 mark. The $83500 price being quoted is the same price I have heard quoted for a recurrent although this was second hand and I cannot vouch for it.

According to you, young people should work almost for free because they should be grateful to be given a job.

They are colleagues working on short time base, usually to cover temporary shortages. They are normally paid on a daily rate. Plenty of companies use their services. Ask your friends.

Dear flydive1
What I said is for a 20 years old kid start a flying career on the right seat in CRJ or embraer and get paid 20k is a good starting point.
Captainprop and again flydive1
All the owners they got a 650 usually are owners that upgrade from a GIV Glex and so forth. What they do is send the own pilot for a training and the company manage Their airplane send the own floating pilot for training.
Part 135 if you are not trained under the company procedure they cannot use contract or freelance

You know half of the worldwide private operators? Man I'm impressed.
Luckily there is still the other half so freelancers can survive.
P.S. By the way the operator you know, do not pay for their pilots training?(after the free one with the airframe)

When you buy a 650, they give you 4 type rating
And the company that mange those airplanes,usually get some free type rating because they send so many pilots every year
