Anyone know what the deal is with this web site? Has anyone used it?

I think I'll inquire and see what happens.

 

Wouldn't it be funny if it were some sort of SSH thing?

 

Later.

I've emailed the guy before and have gotten a response. Seems like a nice guy that will try and find timebuilding options for you. Send him a message and he will get back to you.

Hey, I got a reply:

 

here's my program in a nut-shell:

 

This is not training. If you need training, this is not for you.

 

If you need helicopter flight time (PIC time, that is), however, I can help you.

It will most likely be cheaper than anything you can come up with yourself.

 

I bring people together who want to get hours for whatever reason and those who

have the capacity to accomodate them.

 

I don't charge any party right now for any service. I am still expanding the

program and the reach of the site, but sooner or later I will have to find a

way to pay for the paysite and continous service. I will most likely arrive at

that point once I have drawn enough attention and made enough contacts to pass

on flying jobs.

 

Then I will most likely introduce a one-time cover charge to pay for the

expenses. Part of the charge will be refundable if certain requirements are met

by the member. Job referral will be included.

 

So, if you want you can tell me your experience and loaction. Also tell me what

you normally pay for solo rental including fuel. Let me know what you are

looking for (make/model, intended hours, price, etc.).

 

I will then have a look and find the cheapest way for you to do it.

 

I also include my advise as helo pilot / CFII with 1,500 hrs PIC and give you a

hint of the best route. You make the call if you want to follow it.

 

I know how difficult it is to break into this industry. You will need all help

you can get.

 

Best regards,

So, it seems to be on the up-and-up. I guess this is one way to get another 800 hours without having to be stuck at a flight school teaching. Quite honestly, I'm not sure if I could teach someone to fly. I've done some instructing in the past, but nothing where a wrong move could cause bodily injury. I guess we'll see.

 

Later.
