Looking for feedback on a real scenario playing out now...
Daddy owns the charter company. Pilot Jr. is 24 got his PPL and is working on all the other ratings now. Expects to have CMEL by March. Dad is super excited to see Jr. finally get into flying....Cant wait to get him in the right seat of a CJ or Lear.
My question is what is the shortest "distance"...the most direct line to that Right Seat? Can Pops just send Jr off to FS/CAE and get him a couple of type ratings or basic systems ground with some sim time and Jr's in?
I have read the SIC fars up and down...and it just seems like Jr. still needs to go fly banners or traffic watch for about 1100 hours....Am I missing something here? Was I born into the wrong family ?(Sorry Mom!).
The assumption here is everything is set to go...Jr. will pass all the checks and tests just fine. I am asking this question only in terms of the regs. In other words, how little time can he have and have daddy hand him his SIC wings?
Nothing personal. Just the Fax Ma'am....Just the Fax.
