Delta Connection Academy comes through again, providing jobs no other school can!!

[The_Russian]

ROTFLMAO!

I paid less for the FO program than you paid for your ratings. A lot less.

Define a shortcut? I instructed longer and harder than most CFI's ever do. Ususally one year then to the airlines. Or with COEX mins, instuct for 3 months and go to the jet. And that wasn't around when it was my time to come up. So explain this shortcut to me. Where did I cut a corner as compared to other pilots. I had a two day interview just to be an instructor for the Academy, so you can't say I skipped that.

Your post just smalls of how much you really don't know about GIA or myself.

 

[FrustratedCFI]

Read the fine print!

www.allatps.com 60 garmin gps equiped seminoles, 16 diamondstars with the new 1000 cockpit, a citation, and a crj sim (ftd?). $78,000, housing included, with a $10,000 money back if you don't get a job right away with the airlines, and you get a job as a multi-engine instructor. This is from 0 time to airline in it looks like 11 months.

many years of being a CFI and still had to pay to fly GIA's airplanes? Some people just don't get it. You have a commercial rating, they should be paying you, not the other way around.

 

[8HRRULE]

So I'm still the idiot, because I only paid $25k for all my ratings? Or because all my time was as an instructor and didn't have to buy multi time or a job to get out of flying small GA planes?

Good for you that you instructed three years, but I'm sorry to tell you that those 30k could have done a lot more for you. You are nothing but a lazy a$$ that went the easy way, that's what a shortcut of that kind is. Paying to fly paying pax, give me a break!

People like you are whats wrong with this industry today. You are taking us all down with your greed and stupidity.

You may have paid less for the job, but you also had to pay for your initial ratings. I didn't instruct for three months, more like two years, full time and two jobs for the most part.
I agree that a DCA graduate paid way more than you (see my first post here), that's not very smart either, but what's wrong with what you did is the principle of it, it is worse than being a prostitute, at least they get paid for it. What you did is unethical, you should be ashamed of yourself.

I think you are getting it wrong dude, he's the one that paid for the job, I only paid for my ratings.

Flechas, You sir, are a disgrace.

 

[wheelsup]

Shortcut? I worked as a CFI for 3 years before GAA! I did the FO program to get out of pumping fuel and building single engine time.

Serious Question: Were you instructing full-time or part-time while you worked a full-time/second job?

My bud who recently went to gulfstream was in the same situation, worked about 3 years as a CFI with no multi to speak of. I realized the place was a trap and didn't want to end up like him and the others there, so I left for greener pastures to schools that had twins and the students to support them. If it came down to it though and I had the 135 mins and no twin time, I would've gone to fly freight - I had a commercial ticket so why not use it .

I realize you did the GAA program simply as a "time-building" program, but you did it at the expense of others who worked as hard as you trying to get into the 121 world. I think that's what people are so pissed about.

How so?

 

[8HRRULE]

How so?

Just because he paid for his job doesn't make him any less of a pilot. You would have done the same thing if you could have.

No I would not have, it's a matter of principle. And for that matter I culd have done the same, you can get a lon just by having a heart rate. I never said he is less of a pilot, he may fly better than Chuck Yeager, what's wrong is PAYING FOR THE JOB!

You need to get away from this old school way of thinking. This industry is changing, sir. It is now survival of the fittest. Whoever can get the job done for the least money is the winner these days.

I'm sorry man, I was trying to stay civil because I don't know who you are, but what you just said labesl you as a complete TOOL!
You still can redeem yourslef since you are new, never log on again and find a new username.

You can ignore the truth all that you want. In the end, you will only have yourself to blame for your ignorance. I suggest that you get with the program.

 

[Yank McCobb]

I'll give you and Rhoid and others a dose of reality. Whether you think it's "old school" or not.

All you are doing is showing your true self to those who will be making the decisions on whether or not you ever make it to the "majors".

From what I have seen, the answser is a resounding NO.

Have a good life it that RJ, and that RJ paycheck. That's as close as you will ever come.

Man I hate the pay for training issue!!!! Everyone of us had to pay for our private to commercial Multi and possibly CFI's. But after that I am sorry, you shouldn't encourage companies to think it is in the remotest way ethical to make us pay for a job.

That is like being a burgerflipper at Miccky D's and saying how about I pay you to teach me to make a whopper....oh hell man, now I should pay you double if you promise to interview me and teach me that Micckey's doesn't make those!

If you only knew pal! By the way, have fun flying your little 737, I'll be flying the heavies, 747s and 380s!

Listen Up Buddy, Dont sit here and lecture me on what it takes to make it to the MAJORS. I know what it takes. It's just too bad that you cant see how this industry really works.

8hrrule:

Now that I am on my soapbox lookout. Different issue but you also sound like the idiot that thinks it is ok for regionals to
1 Not pay you when you are in training
2 Not pay for your hotel
3 Make you pay for your charts

Man if that is how you think
I bet you are also the guy that says man I GET to fly that...don't pay me I am just excited it burns Jet-A

All of these issues are a cost of the companey doing bussiness. You don't see Taco Bell workers paying thier employers to work there. Also if the price of burrito shells go they don't give a little of thier wages to pay the difference.

So Sir you need to grow up

Somebody needs to lecture you, sonny. I'm sure you and your buddy Rhoid are living it up dreaming of the times you'll spend in the "heavy iron".

Ain't gonna happen. Never in a million years. Have another drink on me while you pull each other's puds over that big iron you WON'T be flying.

I'm about to retire from the MAJORS. I couldn't care less what you think you know or what you think I know about how this industry really works. I've been flying for a major longer than you have been alive. You think I didn't learn a thing or two along the way? I learned enough not only to make it, but to make it to retirement.

You haven't got the first clue. Nor will you ever know what it means.

Diaper need changing? Better call Rhoid.

 

[cosmotheassman]

Rhoid

I can't believe you put "CRJ FTD" in your aircraft experience. Someday when you start flying real airplanes, you'll look back on that and realize what a moron you are...

I am at a regional that doesn't pay for training and it wasn't bad at all. Management has to cut cost somewhere so we all have to be team players. Times are changing and im in front of the power curve.

You would never make it if you were starting out today. Too old school. It's best that you go ahead and retire.

All I want to know is did mommy and daddy pay for eveything while you did all yer booklernen
