Is That The Best You Can Do?
O.K., maybe I just have too much time on my hands here. But, I counted 7 postings, of someone saying "sorry to hear they didn't hire you", or "sorry they turned you down", or "you can reapply in 6 mos", or something stupid like that.
Why is it when one person's airline gets trashed by some anonymous poster, the comeback is usually something like that? Is that the equivalent of the gradeschool phrase "I know you are, but what am I?"
In second place is the good 'ol "does your mommy and daddy know you are on their computer?"
As far as Focus is concerned. I don't think too many people are sorry that they didn't get hired there, as it seems to be a real scumbag outfit and it hasn't even flown yet. I think more people are disappointed that they did get the job.
If ERAU is involved somehow, and they are with their dumb little CAPT program, than you know some poor flight student is getting ripped off. Isn't CAPT that rip-off program that charges an insane amount of money so you can get type-rated in an MD-90?
What is the big news now, that ERAU is promising students (with a lot of cash or credit) the opportunity to sit sideways in 747 for Focus? Oooh, there's a winner. Let me guess, Focus is next up and coming Tradewinds.
So a student goes to ERAU, which just by itself is a huge waste of money. Then, if that weren't enough, they get to fork over even more dough for the opportunity to get a job with a bottom-feeder. How does ERAU entice people to do this, by promising low wages, long work days, and weeks away from home? Oh, but you will be on a 747, so the fact that a lifetime of wages won't be enough to break even with the cost of training will be negated by being able to crew on a 747.
But wait, what if Focus doesen't make it? Will Focus/ERAU refund the cost of the training to the students? But, that shouldn't be an issue. Start-up airlines, especially those flying gas-guzzlers seem to have a high ratte of success.
