Gulfstream Airlines to Major?

[mac36]

Am I the only one that sees the irony here? Don't you have to PFT to get hired at SWA?

Yeah, I think they'll sell you a 737 type if you don't have on.

That's different though. ;-)

Did I hottub with u in NAS shortly before you left?

It's ok though. Paid for the type my first month here. Moving on now.

Anyone want a pm 3 day that pays 23

I would NOT recommend Gulfstream. If it was up to me, (which it's not of course) SWA would NOT ever hire a Gulfstream Airlines pilot.

I guess they paid for your 737 type when you got hired at SWA. oh I get it now its ok to PFT at SWA but not any other airline.

A good friend of mine just got hired at SWA... Told him my company may be going belly up and I was looking for somewhere to go.. "Ahh, let me put you in touch with a guy in my class who was from Gulfstream..."

Also, my pops had an FO a few months back who was.. from Gulfstream...


Sounds like there is no hope for the GIA kids..

They will be Pilots maybe about 100 of them will go bye bye!

This isn't high school anymore, I think we all care less about what others think of us. That added respect doesn't pay bills or the like.

I think the more credible side of things is how you'll look back and see your career progression- what amount of self dignity you have.

I know of a GoJets guy who made it to Delta, I wonder if when that guy retires if he'll look back and feel good about what he did.

Not trying to compare the two, but especially now with no one except 1 hiring, you're not going to get the fast track to a mainline gig much right now.

(A bunch of guys go from GIA to SWA? All that pay and then continuing to PFT by forking over another 7k for a type....wow, wish I had their parents)

Exactly! I love it when I hear someone trying to rationalize how the type is not PFT.

I can't stand that type of place that takes advantage of mostly younger guys/gals who love to fly and will do anything to get there. Those that are in the actual hiring circles, almost certainly will not hold it against you. I would recommend other places though it seems many reginals are hurting for pilots.

My wife paid 100K for her lwaw degree; isn't that "pay for training" too?

Not true guys,
I worked there, FO and up. I'm with AirTran now on the left seat and nobody has ever made me feel bad or made a comment against it. I had my reasons to do it and it worked the way I wanted it to.
No black mark or nothing. The cool dudes are my friends...
