"Today I may be only a $10hr instructor"
"You ragging on my chosen profession as a flight instructor at Delta Connection Academy shows your disrespect toward me and every other CFI out there"
I think DCA paying $10/hr, and getting away with it because of the guaranteed interview, shows more...
"Well, the job I took pays more than 2x an hour what DCA offers plus full benefits."
Would you have got this job had you had spent half the money you did at DCA and trained at a smaller school? Or do they only hire DCA guys?
4. (Question) Is airline indoctrination, operations, and systems training conducted using LCD projection displays with professional motion graphics?
(Answer) Learning complicated commercial aircraft regulations and systems is greatly enhanced by the use of high tech learning tools...
"When I finished I was offered a job interview to instruct and was hired. I ultimately got a job at the Pontiac airport instructing and opted to not instruct for DCA."
Why? You don't think the guaranteed interivew is all that important? Or was it the $10/hr CFI pay?

7. (Question) Are the aircraft I will be flying equipped with an autopilot?
(Answer) Flying with an autopilot reduces your opportunity to lean how to handle a commercial aircraft and is not recommended...
"I find it very rude and arrogant for someone like DE to come on this board and tell someone they should be looked down upon for a decision they made"
Would you say the same thing if we were talking about scabs?
Would you say the same thing if Northwest was selling 250 hours of 757 F/O time for...
"How sophomoric! Grow up!!!"
You gotta remember this is flightinfo and these are pro-gulfstream guys. The a$$plug and ball gag (whatever that is) comments make a lot of sense if you think about it....
"This person gets off on flaming GIA, IMHO there is no point responding to him"
And yet you can't stop, can you? All you guys can do is personally attack me rather than have a debate on the issues. It shows through the last half of this thread and is why I posted a link to this thread at...
Nice post avbug. Agree completely.
When you say we have Comair, it's actually become DCA now. Delta Connection Academy. Their program, while over rated and over priced, does at least produce a 1000 hour pilot with a CFI background. It's not ab initio.
Flight Safety Academy has a direct...
"If you are to bash GIA then you must also bash other PFT operations: CMR, PCL, ACA and the coup de grace SWA!"
Ahhh...huh? Comair, Pinnacle, and ACA are PFT operations? You wanna explain that one again? Just so we can be on the same page? ACA isn't even in business anymore...
"How about, I'm convinced you think you're 833 at UPS"
What made you change your mind?
"de727ups- what do you hope to gain by your posts?"
A few things....
One, you pro-Gulfstream guys are foaming at the mouth and I find that darned amusing and entertaining. Please don't stop....
Second...
"Early 90's, many regionals were PFT"
That was where you paid for your own initial ground training if you wanted to work there. A little different than paying for flight time in airliner that says Continental on the side of it. However, the practice of 90's PFT went away with supply and...
"Thats funny. When I was in need of a job with 2000 tt and jet time. I didn't even get a email to say no thanks"
I think they would rather hire direct track CAPT guys or Gulfstream guys cause they have no options and can't go anywhere else for a time. Therefore, they cause less trouble...
"Agreed! Maybe I should report his posts like he did to me two years ago when he didn't "like" my tone. de727 you are way out of line"
I don't remember doing that. Can you refresh my memory? I left this site for a while because there is no "line", here, unlike jetcareers and APC. Came back...
"Are these among the folks that were hired as "off the street captains"
One for sure wasn't. The other might have been. What does that have to do with it again?
"Gee if only the DAL mainline guys knew"
If you explain to them that the Gulfstream program is one where people pay money so they...
