I’ve told him about the pros and cons of the airline life. He’s not a big fan of reserve nor the mighty pay cut from his current gig. But doesn’t mind the benefits.

His eventual goal is a legacy or cargo. But if he likes the lifestyle he’s also considering the fractionals.

I honestly don’t know much about the 135 world as I went cfi to RJ and haven’t looked back so would definitely appreciate some info I can give him about the pros and cons of both and what might be the fastest route to his end goal since he is 37. He does like the schedule a little better and the pay at wheels but likes the fast upgrades right now in the 121 world.

Thank you everyone we appreciate the help.

Also, the 350i training is is for PIC type, sic?
Where and how long is the indoc, type, IOE training?

If this was addressed elsewhere, I apologize. Thank you

When I went through (it’s been a while) it was a week of indoc and 2 weeks of aircraft initial. FlightSafety does our training. Where depends on availability. For the KingAir I had been to Wichita, Atlanta, and TruFlight in Lutz, FL. I believe they’re doing some in TEB also.
IOE is usually a tour or 2 for SICs, depending on how fast you pick up the flying skills and the administrative stuff and of course how much flying you do.
