Legitimacy v. flamebait . . . or, should I say, "that's entertainment?"
TabExpressF/O said:
Bobby quite your whining, you're just a wannabe airline pilot, not a real one like me!
First off, why don't you learn English? The word should be "quit," not "quite." And, are you able to write any more than one sentence at a time?
No, you are not an airline pilot, little boy. It's right here on your
TAB Website. You are a Part 135 operation and you are a
P-F-T 135 "pilot":
* Part 135/121 Airline Basic Indoctrination
* Beechcraft 1900 Airliner Systems Training
* Type Rating
* Interview Prep
* Interviews with Bridge Airlines
* 250 hrs Paid Internship on TAB Express Airline
* Hired by Bridge Airline at 500 hrs
That 250 hours paid internship, very curiously, sounds like your P-F-T
"competition" in South Florida. Could this be considered to be copycat crime? Tell us, TABExpress F/O, why did you choose TAB over that outfit?
Two more reasons that I know you are Part 135 are: (1) you are not advertising any FA positions on your
employment webpage:
Captains - First Officers (experienced) - First Officers (no experience)
Mechanics - Ramp Personnel
Why no flight attendants? It is because
airlines operate under Part 121 and require flight attendants.
(2) According to
this page, you hold yourself out as an "on-demand" operation:
With our home base in Daytona Beach and operating as an on-demand charter airline, TAB Express Airline will soon serve over a dozen destinations in Florida and the Bahamas, with plans to expand into Georgia, Alabama and the Carolinas in the near future.
On-demand operations, by definition, operate under 14 CFR 135.
So, TabExpress F/O, Mr. Concorde, or whoever you are, you are not an "airline" pilot. At best, you are a 135 pilot. Big difference between the two.
In any event, whining or not, jealous or not, employed as an airline pilot or not, no aviation employer I ever worked for conditioned my employment on my remitting money for training as a condition of hire.

. . . . but money certainly can buy you an airline pilot "job," as you have demonstrated.
