As moderator, I respectfully ask members not to start another Gulfstream flame war.

Hangar, search this site for all the info you need.

On a side note I was recently hired by GIA as a FO. Im looking foward to my class date and getting out on the line.

From the looks of these websites, ATA Academy in Orlando has a program where you pay money to ride SIC for Ameriflight.

ACA then has an agreement to hire you.

I think they have an agreement to interview those candidates who are approved by the chief pilot.

My question is this: during that 300 hours of turbine experience, is the SIC paid a wage commensurate with industry standards, or is he paid from the money he paid into the program?

This smells like you-know-what....

Oh brother. I just saw the ads again n my Airline Pilot Careers Magazine:

ATA: DO YOU WANT TO BE AN AIRLINE PILOT???

TAB EXPRESS: MEN AND WOMEN WANTED TO SUPPLY THE U.S. PILOT SHORTAGE.

I'm pretty sure the SIC program through ATA and Ameriflight is a pay for training type deal. Amflight has rented out seats in their aircraft in the past which was merely people paying for a few hundred hours of turbine SIC time.

Here we go again . . .

ATA's "program" sure does sound like you-know-what.

We've beaten TAB to death. However, its stupid ads that proclaim a pilot "shortage" continue to slay me.

To save everyone time searching for that discussion, here's a link to it.

Wow... Eagle is hiring 80 a month and so is TSA?

Unfortunately it's the magazines that are supposed to be "helping" us that are allowing false advertisements like that into their publications.
