I got this form the other forum but it is interesting.

The last 3 fatal airline crashes Were Colgan, Comair 5191, and Pinnacle 3701
Colgans Captain = Gulfstream
Comair's Captain = Gulfstream
Both Pinnacle Pilots = Gulfstream

Maybe their new advertising slogan should be "More of our grads are killed in aircraft accidents than any other academy".

Gulfstream Academy SUCKS!! They do NOT care about quality flight training. They care about how many "suckers" they can reel in with the "promise" of flying a p.o.s. crj200 at a crappy regional carrier. They are responsible for the deaths of many men, woman, and children over the past few years. They are a despised by every "decent" regional airline and their pilot groups. They are a useless flight school and if they stay in business, will probably be responsible for many deaths to come. They put out the worst group of pilots. Every regional that hires one of these scumbags are taking on massive risks by letting them in the flight decks of their aircraft.

With all that being said: Gulfstream Academy is, and will always continue to be a joke.

The only question is: Which regional airline has the most former Gulfstream students? Mesa, Colgan, Pinnacle, Skywest, or Great lakes.
Those pilots are a cancer. They comprimise the safey of each and every airline who hire these faulty pilots.
 
If the original post is true, then there are firm grounds to stop that practice. This should be all over the news, and we should be all over Congress!

Where did you get that information?
 
There is currently a CNN reporter on the airlinepilotcentral gulfstream thread that is looking for info into this school. If you have the balls go for it.
 
STOP Gulfstream NOW!!!

I do. These fatalities are NOT a coincidence. Already forwarded all the information to ABC News. I want this flight school under the microscope and under Federal watch. The damage done by Gulfstream Academy is unforgivable. Period.
 
This is priceless! Kinda reminds me of the scene in Young Frankenstein, where the crowd is outside the castle, except this is not only necessary, but freekin' funny to boot!

Okay here we go again! You people absoultly amaze me with your connections of an accident and GTA. One thing you are all missing is the fact that each one of these individuals has left GIA and was trained at another airline. True each individual you mention was at GTA and flew for GIA. What you are missing to mention is that there has never been a fatal accident at GIA in all the years of opperation since 1991. I have worked at GIA and in the training department since 2000. Our training is not easy, I have had many of the former students talk to me after leaving to another airline and they say that GIA training was the most diffcult. In particular I have some very detailed information on the Colgan case as I was the instructor the taught the CA at GIA. Now the information we provided them was more than satisfactory after they reviewed our training proceduers. They are not so satisfied with the training that the pilots recieved at Colgan, more will be comming out on that in the near future, form the FAA. Same for the Pinnicale flight. It seems the constant is the lack of training the crewmembers received at other airlines, not GIA.
