Any captains on the 1900 have any thing to say about it ?

GIA Baby!

Yeah the 1900 is a great airplane. The systems are similar to light or medium twin aircraft so it is easy to learn. Single engine is a breeze and so are the landings. Plane smells like poop and Bahamian sweat. Anything else?

Does GSI hire into the left seat?

That's the only seat they hire into, the other 20 you have to pay for.

So let me get this straight. They will hire into the left seat of the 1900. But you have to pay for the fo seat in the 1900 and emb? What about left seat into the emb 120? Also do you have training contract to hire into the left seat of the 1900? What do they require to hire into the left seat?

It IS a light twin.

Do a search on the forums on GIA and you'll learn really quickly why it downgrades the entire pilot profession. Nobody should pay to work. GIA loves to get people who don't know any better (or selfishly still do it) and pay work in a position in which someone should be getting paid. Then these guys whine when their schools close on them and run with their moneys. See TAB Express for example.

If I were a captain for GIA I would not like knowing that every single FO I had to work with was underqualified and paying over 30g to sit next to me.
Supposedly, they do have the best 1900 contract in the industry though.
Just hear say.
