Jet University

[mcjohn]

You work for CAT? Time for someone to call Jet University and hold them to false advertising if that's true. I remember someone posted the FAR's regarding the issue of false advertising somewhere around here.

WTF over? Enough of this crap! Nobody buy into this B.S.! CAT will be closing the doors after June 30th. You will be pissing your money away. Take it from somebody who works there!

For anyone who cares, this information is inaccurate. (Take it from someone who ACTUALLY works here). CAT is bound by legal contract to fly their interns no less than 500 hrs. If they fly you 1 hour less, they are in breech of contract and will legally be held liable.

They may be putting a hold on extending the month to month contracts after the 500 hrs is complete however, Jet University is arranging Regional Airline interviews for EVERY pilot who has completed their contract.

Dagnabbit! Who are we supposed to beleive?! I don't really care anyhow I guess. I would NEVER pay 30g's to get a guaranteed interview with a regional. It just doesn't make sense. Hell folks, I'll guarantee you an interview with a regional for $5.

I thought the idea w/ Jet University was to PFT for non-regionals. Boeing operators, heavies, cargo, etc...
It's all Gulfstream anyway right? Gulfstream for the regionals and Jet University for the non-regionals is what I was thinking.

It's not "all Gulfstream". It doesn't even come close.

 

[mcjohn]

Well, please break it down then. Gulfstream runs JU right?

GIA has abslutely no affiliation to Jet U. If anything Jet University is the enemy and a sham. Henry George is a cheat and a liar. He will take all of your money and never think twice about running. Henry George even screwed over GAA when we paid him to do our 142 school certification. I lost my job because of that guy. GIA gives their students what they offer. They come though on their agreements and their contracts. GIA is also "established" in the training industry. When Jet U was Sim Center, they hardly did any business because of their lousy reputation.

CAT will lose their planes. The flying will go away. The students will not get their end of the contract with CAT. Jet U will have to find a new airline to suppliment. And get ready for non-union work. For example, being away from home for 2-3 weeks. Days off in Ohio when you live in Miami. No pay protection. And the list goes on.

You work for the #1 scab of all time, ... Tom Cooper. If you don't believe me, just ask him or any other X Eastern pilot.
Jet U was formed by X Gulfstream employees who got 450 pilots hired since March 2002.

Jet U started only because Tom Cooper couldn't pay his bills or his employees (so he sold the airline). If he hadn't been CONSISTENTLY running his airline into the ground, Jet U would never have started and taken all of the students from Gulfstream

Jet U is running a campaign to help pilots. Gulfstream (now under new ownership) is using pilots to help wealthy investors from New Jersey set up casinos in the bahamas

How come they used the same telephone number as Guftstream Training Academy.

 

[Vref+Factor]

Gulfstream didn't change their advertisment in FLYING until 4 months after Jet U started.

 

[mcjohn]

Hmmmm....If Gulfstream's business is hurting maybe they'll start a huge hiring campaign to fill the right seat. Or has this already been going on?

Edited in:
You know? JU definetly offers the better deal. More time, bigger equipment for the same price. Free market place. How's GS going to compete?

What does that have to do with the fact that Jet U has no backbone to stand on? They do not have a good history with their students, and they are run by someone just as bad as Cooper.

Where did you get this information from? Our airline has been making money for years. Our Cuba operation charges 2000 dollars a head to get a ride over the river. You know the truth as to why Jet U has taken students from GAA. And it wasn't an honest way.

Jet U is running a campaign to help pilots. Gulfstream (now under new ownership) is using pilots to help wealthy investors from New Jersey set up casinos in the bahamas

Jet U is a business. Not a charity for pilots. Doesn't every airline feed the pockets of wealthy investors?

Our flying will be there after June. People leave Gulfstream and get jobs. That's just two reasons.

Dig into your contract sucker, I don't believe they specify the length of time it takes, as long as CAT has a certificate, you get no money back. It could take 10 years to get your flight time and Henry George still has his ass covered. And sadly enough I actually do work at CAT, only I didn't spend 30k.

Dude, do you not know you work for a scab as well? You don't even know anything about CAT.
