"I think that UPS used to use something like an AST years ago but I don't know for sure"
Yes, they did, in 1990. They have big using big sims for years, though.
"ME turbine CREW 121 PIC is the key to the big boys"
Getting an interview recommendation is more (most) important. My F/O last week went from Amflight (1000 PIC turbine) to Skywest F/O for two years, to UPS. I've talked to guys before who went from Amflight straight to UPS, though that was a...
I still think some of the reserve is junior. With the way the lines suck so bad, you see hard lines going more and more junior than they used to, but I still think just about anyone could get reserve if they wanted it. If your a commuter, though, reserve would be pretty bad. It all depends on...
"Question has anyone considered Regional Airline Academy???"
RAA's reputation on the net is only slightly better than DCA. Do some searches. Check Jetcareers or Airline Pilot Central for some current threads.
FSA and ATP seem to get the least negative press of the well known schools.
I've...
"Maybe you should fill us in in detail about your career"

"Hey Russian. Give me your resume. I'll walk it in at UPS just to pi$$ off DE727UPS!!!!!"
HAHA. As I'm sure you know, you have to flown with someone before you can recommend them. Then...
"Nobody asked for your opinion phony. Get a life and your private some day. Everyone knows you don't really work at UPS"
Up to number 831 on the list, now.
"Maybe he does. He just can't pass a 757 type rating checkride the first time!"
HAHA. No regrets or hard feelings. See the post at...
"I did not buy my job. I may have bought some training in a 1900, but not a job."
Same thing. While you were doing your "training", you were paying to do a job.
The fact remains that with all the success for the individual, PFJ is a blight on the piloting career.
Guys that do Gulfstream contribute to the lowering of the bar in this profession. How can that not be when one is willing to pay for a job as opposed to earning it? How can that not be when...
Jet University could possibly be confused with "buying" Gulfstream. I'm guessing there but someone said they had the same phone numbers in their respective ads in the March Flying mag.
I haven't confirmed that, but if so, I can see how someone could think the one flying 727's bought the one...
"with CAT who has an overflow contract with UPS"
What he's referring to is CAT's Menlo contracts. Call him back and ask him how much longer they are going to last? We are taking over the flying in June and July. It's planned for and UPS aircraft are already allocated.
Maybe if Jet U can get...
At Amflight, when they have an Eaglejet guy in the right seat, the pilots get like a $5/hr or $7/hr override. Plus, they make the dude load the freight. Plus, he gets left behind if they need to bump him for freight. How much does Amflight get for participating in the scheme? I have no idea...
McJohn. Please don't quote me anymore. KeyLime and Gulfstream are two different animals.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong. KeyLime, and Amflight (through EagleJet), offer timebuilding programs. You sit in the right seat, build time, and pay for it. That right seat in NOT a required...
"it amazes me that people fill these sites with so much negative information even when it is not asked, it's just volunteered I guess the posters would say. I agree there are schools out there that people should be weary of and stay away from. But if you don't know first hand about the school...
"If you want to guarantee that your money is put into a WISE investment then GAA or CAPT is not the place. Also, those places undermine the industry."
You know CAPT is not accepting new students and ERAU is going to shut it down.
"I am not running my mouth. I speak the truth"
Russian, you are so full of it. The vast majority of professional pilots who know about the Gulfstream scheme HATE it and what it stands for. THAT'S the truth. What hole do you live in that you don't see that?
Anybody who had the skill and...
"I don't have a tail. I don't want to discuss it at all, that's my point here. You continue to beat a dead horse."
You might see it as a dead horse. I don't. Some management guy at DCA asked for all posts that mentioned DCA to be removed from jetcareers. Sort of a big deal if you consider...
"You'll jump at any opportunity to run your yapper won't you"
Yeah. It's fun and makes you look like a dork. If you ever want to discuss the issues of DCA without personal attacks, I'm up for it. You want to discuss it WITH personal attacks, I'm up for it. You wanna come back to Jetcareers...
