Even Microsoft Pilots poke Fun At Gulfstream :)

I'm curious to know, how does a 1st year FO with GIA pay bills living of $17/hr x 75hrs per month = $1275 not including taxes :nuts:

SFLA Is not cheap place to live any more.......

.

No it's not cheap at all. I can hardly live on CPT salary. But F/Os do get perdiem and about 90-100 hours a month. So its a little more than that.

The Russian said, "I did not pay-to-play."

What would you call it?

I would call it either a "learning experience" or "internship". Nobody is playing games here. We take our jobs very seriously. Most of the FO's are very professional and quite good at piloting.

And what's your point? That would make sense. We do take our jobs very seriosly. Captains and hired F/O's are compensated. Probies are compensated to meet regulations so they can occupy the seat. They are interns. They are recent graduates learning the ropes of a large aircraft and how an airline works. It is a great training system.

Is ever pilot at your airline an outstanding pilot? Most likely not. Every organization has bad apples. Hope that helps clarify my statement.

So you guys actually flying people around yet, or still cutting through the skies with empty airplanes?
