Why worry about NetJets. Just go to a regional! Hey look on this very message board at the ALL ATPS add. They can get you hired as a FO with less than 500TT!!! Isn't that great!!??!! 500 hour FO's. Man that is awsome! Great job ATP guys, keep sending those unexperienced pilots along willing to work for nothing in a big shinny jet. Hell I was barely qualified to fly as a MEI with that time for you folks years back. Got to wonder how many hours the MEI's have that are doing the instruction! Hell who is doing the CFI sign offs now?

Okay, seriously. Go to a stinking commuter (that includes regionals, they are all scum bag outfits). Get turbine time and just keep applying with NJA if this is the place you want to be. It will happen, and faster than staying as a CFI waiting.
Then when you get the class date, burn that bridge and never look back. Just do yourself a favor. While at that job, don't talk about how you want to just get time and leave. Just smile and do your job. No one wants to hear about how you want to get time and go. There are a lot of A-team aholes out there that would love to sell you out.

Now this was a good post. The truth hurts sometimes. But, it doesn't make it less true.

Fozzy has hit the nail on the head, the regionals are a stepping stone where you build resume fluff, and then move on down the line.

For now maybe... but in the Future ... I hear a pilot shortage will bring pay up into the 6 figure range.

Shortage is already hitting India where ave pilot pay is $20K per month!

 

[honeycomb]

Am I missing something?

Pilotyip is talking about the regionals being a stepping stone. :erm:

AND

Gunfyter is talking about a rossie future.





Am I the only one who finds this funny or disturbing (I don't know which it is yet....)


If you need a hint: Pilotyip talks about the upcoming pilot shortage all the time. And, the Sig for Gunfyter is about an uncertain future and the end is near.....hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

My god, this could mean only one thing, the hiring boom of 2007 really is here

Don't you listen to Kit Darby? He's been preaching this pilot shortage for years! Just pay him and he'll tell you all you need to know about this situation.

 

[gunfyter]

Maybe we should look for volunteers to take leave of absence to infiltrate MESA and Strong Unionize it?

Ya and Kit would show up and help MESA with their union problem. Kit Darby is a jackas s. I won't ever forget the crap he pulled 2 years ago. You hear that Kit? I have made it one of my life missions to cost you clients and money. Scumbag.

 

[EdAtTheAirport]

Okay Foz I have to ask: What crap 2 years ago are you referring to?

 

[Majik]

NJA hired Kit Darby as a consultant during contract negotiations to help them argue against higher wages for fractional pilots.

 

[EdAtTheAirport]

Oh. I guess he's toast on this forum. Thanks for the info.

It's unfortunate that more pilots don't know this bit of information about Kit. Kit Darby stands for one thing and one thing only: his own income. It would be great if everyone boycotted his "conferences" and refused to pay for his "services".

As Fozzy said, Kit is a scumbag of the highest order and none of us should ever forget his actions against his fellow professional pilots.
