Smile 767FO help needed

Hi guys and gals. Ok, so full story, I am a B757 capt in the Middle East, I am coming to Miami to get the 767 endorsed on my FAA ATP. i was wondering if there are any 767 FO's out there who are prepared to sit support for 2 sim sessions on the 9th and 10th of Feb, I don't have times yet.

Before the mud throwing starts, I realsie you are all very busy and that this is a big ask. Yes, I understand if you don't want to help, or you are not willing to do it for free. Or whatever your reasons are I fully understand, I was just hoping that there may be an individual who is prepared to help a fellow aviator, if I have to pay the sim centre, then I guess I will have to, but it is already costing me a fortune and if there is a kind soul out there, it would be greatly appreciated. THA ks in advance.

Being that you already know you will soon be attacked by forum goers, why not, here is a crazy idea, offer a few bucks for someone to sit seat support? Dont think it is anyones fault that it is already costing a fortune, right?

Just sayin, a few hundred bucks for someone to sit support is not out of line and probably a better approach than playing the "kind soul" card.

Good luck...wait....you mean the sweet talk approach didnt work well last month when you asked?

"For all the rest of you ignorant idiots, if you don't want to help don't post comments that make you look like whining little girls. I didn't ask you to sit in a sim if you are tired, or want money or have some other agenda. I didn't offer up a full explanation of what i was doing because I have given that to people who actually want to give back something. For those of you who made comments along the 9/11 go F&*k yourself because you are bunch of narrow minded Aholes. I hope that every one of you who made useless and ignorant comments find yourself in a situation where you hoped for a little support and get treated like s*&t.

For the few good men out there that offered your help, I thank you. At least some of you are still trying to make this a profession to be proud of and not one where we constantly get shafted by each other."

You already posted this same thing prior and supposedly had people to help. I'm calling spam on this one. Looks like you are trying to collect info from folks...

What about their lodging and food expenses?

For what its worth, you should use a School provided F/O. They are familiar with both procedures and examiners. Best bang for the buck.

Its all tax deductible anyway. Whereas if you pay an off the street F/O... what a ya gonna do? give your support a 1099 so you can write off the expense? Nah.
