Found this in a NAFI newsletter today. What a hoot!

Gee, I wish I had dropped a gazzillion dollars to become a flight follower...

C(r)apt

Yes, another semi-P-F-T success story. Also proving the worth of the DC-9 type one earns in CAPT.

Hello?? I thought CAPT was supposed to get one a regional job.

In the interests of editorial balance, to go with Riddle's point of view, here is another point of view about C(R)APT.

Notice there are no quotes from the four people that got hired...

I love this, it even includes self-reflecting journaling. Hahaha what is this? Do they sit in a circle and share their feelings too.

 

[minitour]

well...not sure if I can put 100% blame on the program

You can teach a turd anything you want, but in the end...its still a turd.

I think CAPT students DO sit in a circle, but they is doing something else...

Focus Air? Now there's a "dream job" for ya! I thought that these guys were supposed to be uber marketable to major airlines.

Uh...ok....I guess they wanted more 'experienced' crewmembers...

"flight followers for six months and six more months in other capacities to acquaint them with the international cargo business. They will then train to become Boeing 747 flight engineers for 12 months, followed by training to become B-747 first officers."

looks like a goodly amount of time before a shot at a FO position.

Sounds to me like someone high up at Focus Air did a favor for an administration official who's running the CAPT program.

Sure we'll take a few of your guys to lend you some credibility...
