"If you are to bash GIA then you must also bash other PFT operations: CMR, PCL, ACA and the coup de grace SWA!"

Ahhh...huh? Comair, Pinnacle, and ACA are PFT operations? You wanna explain that one again? Just so we can be on the same page? ACA isn't even in business anymore. Southwest....well, you need a type to work there. It's a way to weed people out. Kinda like having a degree. Their F/O's don't pay for a chance to build time in the right seat, either.

"I did not purchase a job to become a CFI at GAA. I did not purchase a job at GIA."

Good for you. Those are the practices that the vast majority of the industry takes issue with.

"I do not believe that a professional pilot in the top echelon of UPS would respond to others in such a way concerning something that no longer even affects him/her"

Believe it. Here's why. I think it's wrong. Everyone I talk to, except for here, thinks it's wrong. It's wrong to buy a job in this business. Who would even think of such a thing?

"At GIA we have had some instructors from UPS doing part time work teaching the FO's"

Really. I'll believe that when I see names. Be sure to remind them the UPS FOM prohibits outside commercial flying. Not an issue if they are teaching ground school.

"Have you ever been at an airline that has had to strike? What do you really know about scabs?"

Yeah. UPS, was it 1998? Walked a picket line at BFI for a week in support of the teamsters.

For the record, DE727UPS is for real.... I've got alot of respect for him.




I can't stand what the GIA guys do...and it drives me nuts seeing more and more guys diving over there.

The younger guys are typically pretty sharp b/c of a quicker learning curve. The combination of GIA, middle aged, non-military, and late career changer is typically a flag that I'm gonna be watching them get behind and stay way behind the airplane the entire trip. Makes me glad I've got an instruction background. There are exceptions...

Oh so that's why....... I'm a career changer, I'm middle aged, Oh, you better keep both eyes on me............ your an a$$ that stereo types way to much!

de727ups,
So now you want names, can't believe people on the web?
Just like I posted earlier, you simply can't take anonymous posters more than face value.
You want to see names LMAO!
I don't believe you de727ups, although I do believe you might sleep in a ups uniform.
This person gets off on flaming GIA, IMHO there is no point responding to him. He even eludes to having fun, getting people upset.
Although there might be an unintended side-effect to de727boobs' crusade. People thinking about going to GIA that read this thread will now be convinced there are plenty of very lonely anti-PFT-PFJ whackos out there in cyberspace.
These wackos will do anything to get off, even flame threads on messageboards.

"This person gets off on flaming GIA, IMHO there is no point responding to him"

And yet you can't stop, can you? All you guys can do is personally attack me rather than have a debate on the issues. It shows through the last half of this thread and is why I posted a link to this thread at another popular aviation careers website. Anyone reading this can see how you don't have a leg to stand on so you resort to the flames. It's friggen hilarious, thus my statement about how I find this entertaining and amusing.

Here's a link with my pic and an artice I wrote for another popular aviation careers website. You can print my picture out and throw darts at it during your Gulfstream ground school breaks. That would make me happy....

You obviously have never read any of my previous posts on GIA. First off, you don't know whether or not I paid GIA a dime. More than half the pilots at GIA were hired off the street or flowed up into the airline after instructing. Second off, I was a CFI for three years first. Freelance the first two years and the last year I spent as a 141 instructor at GAA. I did not purchase a job to become a CFI at GAA. I did not purchase a job at GIA. I don't know who you think you are but you don't know the first thing about GIA or myself. Why don't you just go ahead and tell us what you think is wrong with my career path. Do you think that I did something wrong? Do you think that I am wrong for associating myself with the hard working people at GIA? You most likely think that my time after work that I put in for the union is bad too. Are you even an airline pilot? I'll have more for you when you answer that last question.

I guess I was wrong about you. I am happy that you didn't PFT. You sound pretty defensive about being labeled a PFT'er. I don't blame you. I don't have any problem with your career path. I do have a problem with those that purchase seats in the cockpit. Unfortunatly for you though, people will lump you in with the people that PFT, due to your long career at GIA. You can explain it away, but doesn't that get old?

I remember joining this site in 2003 after some of my students at GAA told me what people were saying about them.

It was being said about them before you showed up, and it will continue to be said about them long after you are gone. As long as PFT exists, those that can see the problems these systems create will decry their existence.

de727UPS left his a$$ plug and ball gag in GIA a/c 939. Please come back and get them, they really smell!

What a dumb thread

I'll second that. I have met and talked with him at length in Vegas last Oct. Add to the fact that he is based in my city. I should be meeting up with he and others from another board sometime next mnth.

C'mon guys is that the best arguement you guys can come up with an a childish effort to discredit him? How sophomoric! Grow up!!!

"How sophomoric! Grow up!!!"

You gotta remember this is flightinfo and these are pro-gulfstream guys. The a$$plug and ball gag (whatever that is) comments make a lot of sense if you think about it....

I guess...DE. I'm new to these boards. I post kinda exclusively on the "that other board." So I guess that I gotta get acclimated to how things work over here. But I had to register to stick up for my bud! You have a guess who I am?

 

[pgcfii2002]

Share your feelings with the group..........

 

[PowerRanger]

Maaaaaaaan it's banner central over here!!!

 

[de727ups]

I'm gonna say it's Max?

 

[fatazz]

Man PowerRanger it sounds like you really want to get on with UPS. I haven't seen sucking up like that in a long time. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
