yeah, Casper goes from asking for some legit advice on getting a job to turning into a complete tool...
but I guess at 38 yrs old he has it all figured out......I mean, from investing his newfound fortune in mutual funds (poor choice) to buying a 15K SIC job at a 135 Lear operator (poorer choice)....some just dont need any help!...
oh well....some Citation operator has gotten themselves a fine catch.

Gulfstream 200,
it looks to me that you have got it all figured out but I don't think you do, see you have way to much time on your hands to be on this web site turning good discussion into garbage I think when someone that is not as experienced as you or as you claim to be ask for a bit of advice you should try to help them to the best of your knowledge but in your case you just do what you can to take away their motivation, well Mr. big shot I may be only 38 but I am an educated thirty eight year old and another thing I don't know how you invest your money or were for that matter and I really don't care, however I have been financial consultant for a major world wide firm for over ten years and have the designations CFP,CLU,CHFC, and LUTCF, I may not be qualified to fly a Gulfstream but you sure as hell can't tell me what is a good investment or not..
Gulfstream 200 I won't give up flying has been a passion of mine since I was a kid and just to let you know I worked hard for the time I have even if it is only 1700 hours and 200 Multi I did not buy it as you think so if you think buying a Type is wrong oh well bit if it enables me to find a job and be somewhat more marketable then I will do it, for me it is not about the money it's about being happy with who I am and what I do I won't give up my current proffesion I will continue even when I find a flying job and one things for sure I won't let an AH like you discourage me. I'm sure your kids are proud of you.

(This is one sentence ladies and gents!)
Wow, I think this post set the Flightinfo record for the highest word to punctuation ratio. I believe planehpn had the prior record, but Casper here is our new winner!
Casper, I'm sure you're an educated 38 year old with a good amount of financial experience, but can I please ask that you make a more concentrated effort to make your posts a little more readable? It'll do wonders in getting your point across. As it is, I read a couple of lines of your diatribe and my eyes begin to glass over, and then at some point I begin to look around my desk for any pointed object I can jam into my now aching forehead.
Thank you.

Oh my, Big D is right...
That was ONE sentence!!!!
But seriously, for the record there Casper...I answered your post very honestly and tried to be helpful when you explained your job search woes....then you turned bi-polar on us!
Just dont come here and justify that 15K SIC PFT in a learjet to any of us....we have all been through that too many times...
As a pro pilot who depends on my job as my livelyhood I dont appreciate mid life crisis ex-CFO's (whatever) like yourself volunteering to pay thier way into a job opening just to "live the dream".....someone out there like myself might need that job someday and not want to pay 15K to "play pilot"...
Its Pathetic.
Its Old.

Gulfstream 200,
Sorry Guy but I don't buy your BS first of all this started last week when I was talking about my friend that went to Pacific jet and he is the one that paid for his Type all I said was that it is tough out there and if you spend the money maybe it will make you more interesting to a potential employer you are the one that got bi-polar not me, I thought that if I went and got lets say a citation Type and knocked on the door of companies that fly that equipment then maybe they will take a better look at me, also I never said that I am playing pilot I worked hard for the time that I have my time also consists of 170 hours of instrument time that of which 45 is actual 600 hours of night and 1270 hours of x-country and I mean real x-country and just over 200 hours of Multi time most of it in a Baron by the way 1000 hours I worked for I would drive 25 miles a day to pick up the aircraft starting at 3:00 am every day and as I said before I am making a career change I am not playing pilot call it as you wish but I did not buy my time at least respect me for this, I understand you have your opinion and it may very well be valid but you should not put someone down that you don't know.

Casper, please stop posting, you're making me laugh and cry at the same time
And also use some of these.....................occasionally in case you're not going to stop; my head is spinning and it ain't the beer this time
Aha, just noticed this was post #69 for me; Hhhmm, there's an idea for tonight...

Weeks. Weeks! The horror! All while you've got a good steady non-flying job that pays the bills. No stress about keeping the house, paying the kids' tuition, making the grocery budget without having to apply for aid, etc...
Boy, do you realize that there are people on these boards that have been out of work for YEARS? And I mean out of WORK. Not just flying-airplane work, but actual real-income-producing work. Thank God I'm not one of them, but I know more than a few. I know a furloughed DAL guy who was simultaneously furloughed from THREE jobs when the economy really hit its lowest. How demoralizing must that be? And here's a guy with a steady job complaining about searching for a flying job for WEEKS and having no luck. Rough!
Enough people have begged for punctuation from you, so all I'll say is that it's clear your education lies with numbers and not letters. I can't imagine what your cover letter and resume look like though!
And knowing my karma, even though all I did was try to stick up for a few of my out-of-work friends, I have no doubt that I'll wind up working for an operation some day and have this guy as my chief pilot!
