Gulfstream Airlines

[Nindiri]

What's a "shinny jet"?

And what was a corporate Gulfstream captain doing in the SIDA?

Just sharing some info nindiri

 

[STREAKS]

I am curious 1776, how did you get your time to fly the dash? I suppose a better question would be: Who did you fly the dash for?

 

[Nindiri]

Just sharing some info nindiri

Yes, but what were you doing in a restricted area wandering around a 121 aircraft?

 

[Amish RakeFight]

Maybe you could tell us a little trivia about the Dash8 or G-IV to verify your credentials.

 

[Flyer1015]

The BS flag has already been called and stands tall!

150 hours as a F/O, when clearly, a C-I-ME is required *just to begin* the Gulfstream PFT program.

Nice try, but you better get back to your Algebra homework... you don't want to anger your 9th grade math teacher.

I know, it hurts to admit you're a PFTer, because then you get lumped in with all the stereotypical rich kid, spikey haired, ipod/backpack wearing, unskilled job thieves. On the other hand, we're all guilty, some more than others of paying for our own training, and not holding out for the airlines to pay for it. .

.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

As far as the thread starter, there may be some truth to his story. Pt91/135 people are sometimes completely clueless about what goes on in the 121 world. Some corporate guys don't even know what Gojet or PFT is.

I worked for Piedmont Airlines for 6 years.
Flying the Dash 8 then I got hire to fly the Gv

I didn't pay any money to these airlines for my training, I got pay and really well.

Piedmont use to be a great airline to work for.

Alright, so you may not be a 13 yo kid. You know Bob Trout, I guess you've been at Piedmont. But you should know better than to post this kind of dirt, prowl around 121 a/c and imply that a 121 carrier requires only a ppl from their FOs.

 

[se1776]

See nindiri

I was not Wandering around the 121 airplane

Did you read the post?

 

[se1776]

I am just saying what this guy told me.

I was lucky to get a job with Skyway with 2000+ hours in my day. And no, I'm not a Perdue Chicken, I'm a Riddle Plucked Eagle.

I don't know Trout personally, thanks for asking.
How many hours did you have when u got on with Piedmont?

 

[STREAKS]

Oh yeah!

For the record, it's my second as well, but you don't see me writing at a 6th grade level.

 

[Hung Start]

Well, I posted that as a sarcastic remark.
At 11:20 PM, you should put the bottle down before you respond.

PFT has been beaten to death here. Nobody gets on a 1900 at 150 hours, flying 121.
It is what it is. Gulfstream will run out of applicants as the economy cools, and suddenly you will see on Aviation Interviews people saying, just like Colgan, "I can't wait to start. What a great Company"!
It was only a few years ago that Colgan, Bizex, Comair, just about all Companies, were requiring you to pay for training. Gulfstream just seemed to be able to continue the process longer than most.
Then, two months later, the complaints will start.
This is MEL'd, they want me to do that,,, blah, blah.

Out of the mouths of babes,,,,,,,,

Well, we all know the reqs. for 61, but you can be a commercial pilot @150 hours in a 141 program. I know, since I took my checkride @ 135hrs....
It's a while ago, but....

a lot or work!

 

[CX880]

You ever notice they haven't changed those smiling pilots on their site? Same goes with DCA. GTA is such a despicable school, when are people going to learn. Who ever thought you'd have to earn the right to fly an airliner??

 

[ToiletDuck]

Why would anyone pay over $100K? That's what it takes to get a commercial certificate these days at many institutions.

Show me a single one that cost $100k for flight instruction to get a commercial cert. I got my commercial for about $20k.

Well, I can't show him to you, nor divulge his name (out of respect for him, nor would the moderators allow it), but I can say that he's sitting right next to me at the moment and went to ERAU, and he claims that he knows plenty of others who did the same.

BTW, I got mine for just over $20K too, but that was before gas prices went up and I had to be a club member to get a 172 for $35 an hour and an instructor for $20 an hour. Heck, I could get dual in a C310 for cheaper than my students pay for dual in a C172.

 

[johnsonrod]

Do you pay more to train on the Brasilia vs. the Beech?

it seems that all the DCA guys are going to GTA... so you see a pattern there? only smile faces on both places!

so how is the life of Part 91? hehe..... flying a lot? how long will it take you youto get the real experience of 121?


if you like instructing more power to you, we need a lot of instructors like you! willing an able to suck it up!

 

[The_Russian]

You are such a great representation of our pilot group. Thanks, buddy!

 

[Amish RakeFight]

Hey Mexican, are you one of those smiling faces on their website with a whole 250 hours of 1900 SIC under your belt?

...and Gulfstream needs more guys like you willing to suck up your cash for your "dream" job. :laugh:

 

[duck_killer]

nice cessna time you little white girl.

 

[Long Time Gone]

You post was believable up until this time. No one can get a Commercial certificate with just 150 hours, not under Part 61, nor 141.

Nothing to see here...

Not to defend the GIA pukes, however......

I beg to differ......

I did my PVT at 43 hours with a DPE, my Instr at 111 hours, my COMM SEL with a Fed at 161 hours, my CFI at 192, my CFII with a DPE at 207, my ME Add-On at 226, and my MEI with a Fed at 242 hours. If I hadn't of entered the 141 facility with almost 70 hours post PVT and flown on the side for fun, it would have been much less.

 

[The_Russian]

I got my commercial single at 150 hours under 141. CFI at 192.
