Firs Officer Programs--help
Hi,
I'm looking to do a first officer program in the USA to build some twin/turboprop/jet hours quickly and relatively cheaply.
Does anyone know how these programs are viewed by the CAA and airlines??
I have Frozen ATPL/IR and 280 hours, ex CAP509 grad 13 months without any success so looking for anyway possible to get my experience up

Have you thought about the ATP academy in Southampton. I know it's not exactly what you seem to be looking for, but the place offers MCC and JOC courses. BA, Easy Jet and various other airlines use the academy for cadet and direct entry pilots. It is aimed at recent 509 graduates with the typical 200 hours, but without the necessary multi-crew or jet experience. The school offer a form of sponsored training (not too sure about the details), whereby if selected all or partial training will be paid for and you'll be kept on their books - they seem to have good contacts with Easy, Britannia etc.
I know some of the self-sponsored who have finished from Oxford have taken this route, and it seems that airlines are looking for MCC/JOC rather than just more hours.
Whatever you decide best of luck.

The First Officer Program costs US $20000. They will pay you back on the 250hrs BE1900D at $8 per/hr. Great for U.S.green card holder or citizen, because they can get hired upon graduation. The web is www.gulfstreamacademy.com
