Default Multi time building Q

Anyone have any ideas on where to go to get around 50 hours of multi-time
cheap? I looked at AriBen, but the reviews lately are not too great.

Default Multi time building Q

The office supply store sells ballpoint and fountain pens. But if you want
to really fly a the hours, there are no truly cheap hours in a multiengine
aircraft.
But to get a valid answer, you need to say something about your current
qualifications, do you need a rating or have the rating and are looking for
a job?
What part of the world are you living and are you willing to travel? Can
you join the Army?

There was a company that used to sell multi-time really cheap. I think they
were freight dogs and only let you touch the controls at altitude. I don't
remember any more details. It sounded like a good deal for someone who only
needed the sign off and no real experience.

Not such a good deal unless what they are looking for is a profession
which has people who are willing to pay to work.

Or if your insurance company won't cover you in your own airplane until you
have 50 hours. I really dislike insurance companies, so have no problems
when it comes to finding loopholes.

This is the link for the cheap multi-time

http://www.multiengine.net/

$60/hour for 50 hours.

This place looks like a scam to me. I have seen these before and I can
tell you that the FAA does not consider this logable PIC time.

That's funny. Insurance companies don't "dislike" you, they dislike losing
money. They compare you to others with similar "paper documented"
experience. And finding that those "comparables" have a poor risk
performance the insurance companies choose not to give you a $100,000 risk
coverage for the next 12 months for $1000. They may give you that for
$10,000, or they may say "Hey, go get some experience, ding up a few things,
and come back and see us then". Don't take it personally, they have a bigger
pot of money on the line. That's the only reason you go to them in the first
place (for access to their pot of money).

Well, that one's not so bad. I was thinking more of the scumbags that make

FO's pay to work for them.

A pox on them!

If thats the place in Colorado, they got shut down by the feds.
Similar deal in DFW many years ago. They got shut down too.

Actually, Jim Macklin did not say that.
