If they're hiring street captains , count me in. Let's see, where'd I put that street type rating. Got it around here somewhere........

This is the quote of the week. Make that of the YEAR.
 
They hiring? Have some friends that have about 1000tt and 50 hours multi looking for a ok job........they know the pay sucks.

Thanks
PM with details please.
 
I'm sure you'd need more than 50 hrs multi to be considered as a direct entry captain on a 121 twin t-prop. Geesh...
 
man....Didnt know that! if you look at the time I posted you can see that they would go in as a FO.......thanks for the info! Bro.
 
EMB170PLT

Go eat a d1ck like a CHQ whore should. I could pay for GAA all over again if your mom would give me all the money she owes me. Getting tired of putting my johnson in that nasty thing for free.
 
Ha ha!!

And you'll need an ATP, which will require more than 1000 hr TT...:rolleyes:

Get it right, you guys don't work for free, you get paid $8 per hour. Actually, it's an $8/hr rebate, cause ya paid $30k. But what do I know, my daddy can't afford $30k for me to go to GIA. Does that make me any less of a pilot? :)

A PFT'er calling a CHQ guy a whore??? If his mom's so nasty, why are you banging her in the first place?

Thread soon to be deleted.....

This thread also proves that most of you know NOTHING about GIA.


Yawn.

We know it is a place for those with more money than brains to pay tens of thousands of dollars to play airline pilot for a couple hundred hours.

We also know that Gulfstream is the lowest of the low . . . . and many of us have known about Gulfstream far longer than you, Russian. I remember when they were flying CE402's and the biggest thing they had was a BE99. That would have been about the time that you were still cruising around the yard in your Barbie Jeep.

And Russian, anyone so stupid as to actually defend renting a seat there is too stupid to argue with, so don't bother responding . . . come back here in about ten years when you actually have some knowlege to impart to us.

Lets not generalize here. Its true, there may have been a lot of humps produced by Gulfstream. I've seen quite a few of them. But lets not overlook some of the real solid, capable pilots that spent years working there. To say that its a place for the "lowest of the low" and "for those with more money than brains" is an unfair generalization. Everyone pays for it somewhere, whether its flight instruction, or through a program like that.. which I may add, other companies have started doing. I do agree that paying 30g's to play airline pilot for a couple hours does seem like a waste, but if these kids can reinterview and get hired as a result and spend some time building their skills, I say, more power to them. I'll close by saying that everyone is entitled to their opinion, im not saying anyone here is wrong, this is just mine.
 
Oh God...started with the momma jokes! haha OK lets see.........Nahhhhhhhhhhhh wont even waste my time :)

Being "new" to the airlines, because I picked CHQ, I'm now a whore????? Now Im learning but it wouldnt be because of the whole airline out bidding another airline would it?? Im trying to put this all together... Maybe Da Russian can fill me in why CHQ is so BAD!!!!!! Let me tell ya bud, sure am enjoying that EMB-170. Worked hard to get where I am now and I am blessed and lucky to have been able to get into that airplane. Yes, I know the pay sucks and I, like a lot of others on here, have spent a lot of money to get my ratings and to start out at...well making peanuts, yeah sucks....Take the good with the bad though.....

Your right Vector Just an opinion

Remember Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one and no one thinks theirs stinks

Ever stop to think that if those idiots didn;t show up with their checkbook in their hands that Gulfstream would actually have to hire and pay pilots to serve as FO?

That's what is wrong with the program- these dummies pay to rent a seat that otherwise would have been filled by a paid pilot.
 
Whatever beef you have with those that paid for training is your own. Everyon shows up with a checkbook somewhere. Thats my point. Whether its at a flight school for a CFI or like this. Lots of companies did it in the past and others are still doing it. I dont think is a huge sin for a guy who really wants to take a shot at a career to go into it like that. Everyone takes a different path. Thats all. I dont think one way is any more correct or righteous than the other. We all put the time in with some kind of crappy job, and somehow end up flying an RJ or something like it for a regional. How we get here is relatively unimportant as long as we can hold our own, and of course not cross any picket lines along the way.

Boy, are you new to this industry, and to this board. Most pilots have very little respect for someone who "rents" a required crewmember seat.

I really don't have the time or the desire to educate you on this subject. Do a search. It has been covered extensively in the last 6 or 7 years on this board.

Read up, junior. Have a nice life. Tell me more about it in about ten years, when you have a little more perspective.

Then you must have little respect for some of your senior captains and FO's at AirTran. I can name at least 15 .
 
Alright jack, I was tryin to be civilized. Here's the deal, I may not look at this board to often, true, but what I am not is new to this business and I certainly don't need to be educated by the likes of you. I don't subscribe to the bs that states that guys that go through a program like gulfstream or colgan or wherever are worth any less than you old bastards who are too stuck in the mindset that everyone has to instruct for 1200 hours to be called a worthy airline pilot. This is they way things are. Welcome to the 21st century. Try accepting the people around you rather casting them out because you think that "I did it this way, its the only true way to become an airline pilot, so everyone should. And if they dont, then they're dead wrong." Wake up and smell what youre shoveling. People like you make me sick inside. Talk to me in 10 years when your a sad, bitter, retired old f*ck that spent too many years cursing his chosen profession rather than enjoying it.
 
You could say the same thing about scabs . . . . my answer would be the same- "So what? Does that make it right?".
 
Maybe this is a good definition for a PFT'er:

PFT'er: Any person holding a CPL or equivalent, who offers payment to any organization (other than to obtain FAA Airman Certificates, FCC Licences, etc.), to obtain employment with aforementioned organization shall be considered a PFT'er.

Gulfstream is run by a bunch of ex-eastern scabs, that is enough said....
