buying time on commercial flights

Hi all, are there FTO's in US who offer type/time with a carrier in US as with EasyJet and others in Europe for a price?
PS, not looking to do it, just doing a paper on it.

Yes.

Gulfstream Training Academy.
Gulfstream Training Academy - Professional Airline Pilot Training School

$32,999 for a B1900D rating at 300 line hours! They pay you $19 per hour (flight hour I assume) while completing your line hours. Essential your $33K 'tuition' is covering your pay expense for the 300 hours!

Eagle Jet International.
Eagle Jet International, Inc.

They don't disclose the airlines they are partnered with but there are a few in the US (mainly turboprop operations I believe). A quick search on here will net you a ton of information about them. They even provide line training for 747 captains for around $40K!

Or just talk to the gate agent and let her swipe your credit card. Then turn left when you enter the plane instead of right and show your receipt to the captain and f/o so that the f/o knows to move over to the jump seat. Bring your own headset, they won't let you use thier's.
Have fun.
