Gulfstream International
"de727 has a poor attitude towards others" They love me at the other board. Even made me a moderator. Here's a newsflash for you. Gulfstream style PFJ is not popular amongst the masses. I think for good reason. Once you leave the bubble your in, you'll see that, if you don't already... -

Gulfstream International
"What are you doing to stop the GI program in general? Are you contacting the company" HAHA. Are you serious? I do what I can by educating folks at a couple of aviation career sites on the evils of PFJ. If you have any questions about that, go to jetcareers or APC and ask about it. Any... -

Mesa hires 300TT pilots now? WTF?
"what authority will a 300 hour pilot tell a captain that he's screwing up? And how much respect will that captain have for a 300hr newbie that he's had to spoon-feed everything to when said newbie does speak up" Very good points. The capts a baby sitter and he knows it. Does it surprise... -

Gulfstream International
"If you treat someone who made an honest mistake in going to GIA with "extreme prejudice," then you aren't a professional." If they admit is was a mistake, then no. I didn't see that in this thread, you'll need to keep reminding us. "The PCL Capts that I have spoken to say the GI FO's are... -

Gulfstream International
"Oh, I'm right here watching all of the ignorant fools behave like a bunch of moronic twits." Guess I'm happy to be in the ignorant fool catagory. Did you do their program but now feel it was a mistake? I've noticed how you're all pro-union now. Just want to forget about Gulfstream. The... -

Cessna 140 Tail dragger
Sorry for the hijack but what do you guys think about Luscombes? By the way, I had a Cessna 140 once and it was a good little plane. We had to rebuild the engine and the C85 cranks are expensive and hard to find. We did the STC to install an O200 crank and that little plane seemed like it...- de727ups

UPS suspends captains
"PIC authority is PIC authority, PERIOD!" Not anymore. From the UPS chief pilot: "To clarify, a priority 3 crewmember’s presence on the flight deck that is within contractual flight deck occupancy limitations will never create an overcrowding situation justifying a PIC’s denial of admission." -

Express Jet Interview
"I am just saying, lets tell it like it is...." "No one is getting hired at 400 hours..." As I mentioned in my post, I was quoting the FSA website. I have no other source of information. That's why we have these conversations, to get to the truth of the matter. Perhaps the FSA website... -

Express Jet Interview
"If that's true then it's pretty bad. I've never heard of that. It seems like I would have heard about it working here for the past year or so and trying to help friends get hired. I'll look into it when I get some more time." From the FSA website, FSA direct entry guys at Express Jet: Terry... -

Express Jet Interview
"400 hours direct track doesn't guarantee a job anyway" Yeah it does. Dude, where you been? With FSA direct track, you interview and are HIRED before you start training. Then, all you need to do is finish training with FSA and you are in initial with Express Jet. That's the way FSA says it... -

Express Jet Interview
"Hell, why don't we just hire them as soon as they get their commercial certificate" Sometimes you do. See the Flight Safety Academy direct track program that advertisies Express Jet jobs at 400 total and 100 multi....commercial multi. How does that make you feel? -

Embry Riddle
" I personally went to ERAU and I know I have a great education" Personally, I went to Riddle, too. I think it was a total waste of time. Needed to check that "I have a degree" square, so it was good for that. But, as I look back on it, going to Riddle was one of the mistakes I made in my... -

Comair Academy
"This is criminal" I've been over at jetcareers.com blasting away at DCA marketing for quite some time. DCA guys actually argue with me, too, which gets pretty interesting. Come on over and give me a hand. Anyone have an idea about how to stop this sort of thing? -

You get what you pay for!
"Do you think that you received superior flight training compared to folks that learn to fly at smaller" In some ways, the big academies are better but it's not worth the money, in my view. I think the highly structured, lotsa rules, academies actually keep you from experiencing some things in... -

This sucks!!!!!!!!!!!
"I should have studied out the industry more before investing so much time and money." Exactly what did you think about this industry before you invested in it? What did you use to justify your decisions? I ask because I'm the chief watchdawg with respect to big academy marketing at another... -

UPS Hiring News
"I assume they don't fly" They are flight qualified and fly enough to stay legal. "If you apply online, are they considering you for that position also" Don't know. -

I wear glasses to correct. Not sure if contacts are unable or not, post LASIK. I've never worried about it. -

upgrade and LASIK
I did Lasik and my night vision has been fine since after the first day, not a factor at all. I have regressed from 20/20 to 20/40 in two years. Corrective lenses is now on my medical, again, but I consider Lasik the best 2K I ever spent. Even at 20/40, I much better off than the 20/400 I... -
