Flight Training Reality Program For TV?

[CFI'er]

Perfect fit for today’s viewers. Start off with 15 to 20 candidates and put them through a flight training academy type course. Each week one would be eliminated using test scores, busted stage checks, poor attitude, untidy uniform, etc. Only one makes it to the interview for a regional pilot slot. Oh, by the way, each candidate must invest $50K up front, with no refunds. Enticement to get applicants: Guaranteed airline interview, able to wear pilot uniform during training, GPS equipped aircraft with expired data cards, potential to earn $5,000,000 during career, includes flight bag with school's name.

Did I leave anything out?

[urflyingme?!]

u forgot the stupid looking whale on the back of the plane, and the multitude of turn downs at the bar using the "I'm a pilot line"

Dont forget the Big Lether flight bag with a sticker of there C172 on the side and a Lycoming IO360 Engine sticker on the side. They got to have something to carry there charts in. Might as well look like a wanna be.

Reality TV pilot hiring

After they've earned their ratings, have them run the gauntlet of the airline interview from he!!. I.e., the taciturn industrial physician peering up the applicant's rear end with his endoscope; the hostile pilot interview board going over each page of the candidates' logbooks with a fine-tooth comb; if the logbook even shows .1 of apparent unjustified flight time the head of the board will declare, "You're rejected." The goal at the end, of course, would be being called to class at the Trump Shuttle.

I think it's a great idea!
