NTSB Report
To me the test is this:
Are you a required crewmember either by regulation, are you required by the insurance company, or are you required by the paying customer.
In all three cases somebody is not getting a paying job.
I know a guy that did the Amflight SIC program, with about 1100 total and 300 hours of "Turbine PIC" no airline will hire him.
note the "quotes"He was logging that as TPIC?
Yeah freakin' right.
It's SIC time.
He was logging that as TPIC?
Yeah freakin' right.
It's SIC time.
Why is it so much worse if he works there after? Isn't it like an internship?
Why is it so much worse if he works there after? I'm not baiting an argument or anything here I'm just not seeing why it's paying for a job. Isn't it like an internship?

BingoMaybe he was under the impression (due to Eaglejet) that he could log the 91 time PIC. Well that couldn't be if the person was flying with me because I would be logging the time as PIC.
Turbine in what aircraft? Is a type required or just multi?

All that I can think of would mean the second pilot was required.There are lots of situations where both pilots may log PIC.

I don't know of any internships you pay to participate in.
Ok fair enough, I guess I kind of glazed over the part about paying for the check ride.
Turbine in what aircraft? Is a type required or just multi?
Probably a Beech 99, if not that then a 1900 or a Metro.
Either way, even with a Beech 99 you can't log PIC time when I can tell you for a fact, and without a doubt, that the folks that go through the FO program only get a part 135 SIC ride and there are not a ton of part 91 legs in the system, not enough to have 300 hours worth of PIC time.
