They installed a bench jump seat in the cockpit (a la DC-9) so they can carry two more PFTers. For only $20k you can have 250 hours as either the flight engineer or navigator on a B190.

As an unrelated side note, ever see the ad for "Jet University" in Flying? Picture of a 727, I think it mentions getting jet time. Anyway, I tried calling the number so I could screw around with whoever answered, and it turns out that it was really just another Gulfstream ad! Anyway, thought I'd share that tidbit.

I'm not sure why people are still associating Jet U with Gulfstream. They are 2 different companies. At Gulfstream, FO interns get 250 hrs flight time in a Beech 1900. At Jet U, Pilot interns get 250 hrs as an FE and 250 hrs as an FO in a B727. Next time you decide to share any more "tidbits", PLEASE have at least a vague idea of what you are talking about

Let me guess? You paid to fly a B-727 and you dont like being assosciated with the Gulfstream types.

I love how they're called "interns" instead of "customers"

Hey Vref+Factor,

Whats it like paying over $30,000 to become a B-727 crewmember?

Thats funny, American Airlines paid for my B-727 training.

Soooooo why does the number for Jet "University" go to Gulfstream?

 

[SkyBoy1981]

I wouldn't go to GIA if they offered a damm flow through agreement with FedEx. I am finished with putting money into aviation. Enough is enough.

yes folks we now have a winner for the most useless piece of crapola info ever posted on flight info. Thanks for clearing that up, it was really costing me some sleep.

You know what "tidbit" I'd like to share? Anyone who pays at one or any of these companies is nothing but a sh!tbag.

I wasn't sure if I still had a sense of humor any more but after reading that post I found myself laughing and agreeing, thanks LearLove, that was funny, I wish I could have said it that well myself.

ok, for the record I am not a CAT intern, I have close ties with Jet U staff members. If someone wants a quick and direct way to an airline, let them make their own decisions as to how to go about it. If someone embarks on a good opportunity, who are you to tell them what to do. Bottom line is that there are 500+ pilots out there that have legitimate airline jobs because of programs like Jet U and Gulfstream. Regardless of where a persons time comes from, they still need to be able to pass an interview, training, orals, sims, and a 121 ride, ....... beey-yatches!

How is paying $30000 to ride right seat in a 1900C a "good opportunity", man? Noone should pay to be an "intern". It undermines legitimate pilots who should be in that seat, being payed by the company to work, not vice versa. Just as long as it's "quick and direct", right? Who cares how many fellow pilots you step on or how much you bring down the industry right?

No sir, you are the beey-yatch. I would not call someone who bought a job a legitimate airline pilot. I would call them the reason why pay rates are so low in this industry. I would call them the reason why PFT exisits today. If no one would pay for their jobs, then Gulfstream and CAT would have to hire them like normal airlines. Every person that PFT's takes away a legimate job from someone who can't just shell out $30k of mommy and daddys cash.

Well Beey-yatche,

You state that you are not a dumba$$ ur intern but this is what you said a few months back when someone was making fun of the used car salesmen at Jet U.

That car salesman got me and 450 of my friends a job

You also stated this

For anyone who cares, this information is inaccurate. (Take it from someone who ACTUALLY works here). CAT is bound by legal contract to fly their interns no less than 500 hrs. If they fly you 1 hour less, they are in breech of contract and will legally be held liable.

They may be putting a hold on extending the month to month contracts after the 500 hrs is complete however, Jet University is arranging Regional Airline interviews for EVERY pilot who has completed their contract.

Then this little gem

yo, jet university is dope as sh*t. if you ain't all up in a 727 you got no room to talk bee-yatch. Suck it

For the record you tool I was "all up in a B-727" for AMERICAN AIRLINES!! Yet unlike you I didn't have to pay them to train me.

Nice web of lies you are spinning here. You actually pay someone to work for them. YOU are the definition of a whore and are the reason that airline pay is repressed.
