So lets see. You get "paid" $2000 to fly 250 hours in a 1900.

Wow!! You mean I'll get paid $8/hour to fly a 1900. And we all know that flight hours and time at work hours are a lot different. I always figure you need to subtract at least $10/hour from pilot pay if you want to compare it to real world 9 to 5 pay. So using that logic, you are actually paying Gulfstream to sit in the right seat. Where do I sign up?
 
Interesting web site. I took a little time exploring it and found the "testimonials" page. You know the page where Airline Pilots send their kids........ Of the four letters 3 were from CAL and one from an American pilot.


Guess what, all three CAL pilots were SCABS! Surprised? I'm not.
 
Comon, it gets even better in the fine print. If you didn't happen to go to the prestigous school... you can shell out cash to do it!!

[font=Arial, Helvetica]First Officer Program Price $29,684*
*After receiving $2,000 in flight pay, program cost is just $27,

What a deal!!!

The place is run by a bunch of EAL scabs so "birds of a feather flock together."
 
Well this is done to make everyone understand that they are in a professional environment right from the start. Something that is really missing in this industry. People just don't get it I guess. When I first started ground school at my current airline, I managed to find a complete airline uniform. (dark pants, special shirt, complete with three stripes) I wore this first day of ground school, and throughout it's duration. My classmates never once invited me for lunch, or dinner at night when they went out. What can I say, professionalism is dead.

CF34-3B1,

My intention was to get some answers to this issue from someone, like yourself that actually knows what they are talking about. Also, to hopefully educate the idiot masses that throw terms like "w&ores" around. I was not trying to be disrespectful to the Comair guys/gals at all, simply to inform these types of morons that when they use that term they can also offend some of their own. There are quite a few PFT's at Comair, it worked out for them obviuosly. I personally would not have done it, but I don't hold it against anyone either.
Don't dare insult PFTers as someone will try and slap your hand also.

TOTAL FLAME BAIT ALL THE WAY!!!!


Nobody is sucn an idiot.....well.....mabye English
 
I like the guy on the web cam hanging out in the far back left corner. Grey balding head and looks close to retirement age. What a LOO-Zer
 
What's wrong with it? These posts just prove my point. Professionalism has gone bye bye. I also had a name tag about the size a credit card which read:

"Hello, I am First Officer Bra. How can I help you?"

Walmart knows something about keeping the customer first, and so should airlines.

What a Jack A$$,,

You know absolutley nothing about these people and you are calling them loozers!! Who left you in charge to pass judgement?!?! I can tell you from your previous posts, I'd rather fly with one people in that room than you!! I think BRA hit it on the head, professionalism. It appears they are atleast learning that.

I know a person who went through GIA, he retired from the Marine Corp after 20+ years, served in both Gulf conflicts!! Using his VA benifits and the money he saved while serving our country in the desert, he returned home, retired, finished his ratings and applied to GIA. He finished there and went to work for another regional carrier!! He has earned that right more than you LEQUIFE ever could, so who are you to pass judgement on him

Now this is a person who has earned the right to be here!!! I don't care what you LEQUIFE or anybody else says about PFT.
 
Let me settle this. I was rush chairman at my fraternity and I'm a good judge of talent. I think that dude with the long hair can drink some serious beer.

ROTFLMAO.

You once said that "they" hardly ever get the sleepers, This wasn't even a sleeper and some didn't get it. :-)

Enigma well done. Nice reset. Do you read these posts with a fresh cup of coffee in hand? May be that is the trick. I've been posting mostly mindless trash for like 300 posts now, and i'm hoping to keep up this trend in the future. Some really are missing out. Honestly though, I had to reread your post like 3 times before that even registered for me! No coffee yet.

my training was just as professional as gulfstream. being a profesional pilot should start from the day you set foot in your c150 to the day you leave your 747-400. just remeber those who strive for the best will always succeed.

soon those pilots that you are m,ocking will be working for the top airlines in america. us airways, united, delta and so will i . we will have the last laught

CLASSIC! The Sham outfit of Gulfstream is brainwashes you guys into thinking you will all be at majors "Soon". Reality Check Dumba$$, none of those airlines are going to be hiring anytime "Soon". You wont see a job at a major for at least a decade and when that day comes the interview boards wil see Gulfstream on your resume and pass you over for the next guy.
 
you are so full of it its not even funny; people that went to gulfstream already work for some of the majors.
 
BRA,

You had me goin' there for a sec. I thought you were serious. You should do stand up comedy.

Only a complete tool box would wear his unifiorm to ground school.

I remember a few years ago I was at the FBO where I was taking flying lessons. Some gomer showed up in an Air Force flight suit. He was a student pilot working on his private. Unbeleavable.
