If your domicile has an FBO that we contract with; signature, ATLANTIC, etc., you can check with them. Most of the time someone will let you park free, if they have room. Otherwise, yes parking is on your own. Where do you want to be based?@

Can someone tell me what the cost is at Gama for initial training in the KingAir? I've heard that recurrent training is 7.5k. Also, how strict is the company about collecting their prorated training fee back should you choose to leave prior to the end of year one? thanks to all in advance.
Cheers,

1 week prior to indoc you will do mindnumbingly boring computer training.
Indoc was 4-5 days, I forget. This will include one day of water training. This is done at company headquarters in Shelton, CT
Aircraft training including systems, sim, and check ride takes about 2 weeks. This is all done at Flightsafety, CAE, etc.
3 8-day tours with an instructor.
You will most likely have breaks between each stage of training.
If my math is right, it’s about 4 weeks to checkride then another 6 weeks of ioe (including days off).
Pay starts 1st day of the computer training.

You will have a break. Mine was 2 weeks but your experience could be different from mine. I was also given about a weeks notice before the start of ioe.
