Scenic vs. Vision

[Daytonaflyer]

I stand corrected on Eagle Canyon Airlines dba Scenic Airlines, my mistake. Thanks for clearing that up. Regardless, flying at Scenic was still a great experience I'll never forget.

What is PFT?

You cleared it up.

Vision IS PFT.

"Now if you get hired with around 1000TT no PFT"

Thanks you also cleared everything up. You apparently didn't ever work for Vision. The above statement was from me standing in Vision's ops building and talking to the ACP. Anything else you would like to add to this thread to help us all out.

Oh and PFT is Pay For Training. A way companies like to screw pilots.

Thanks for the info. I have my sites on flying cropdusters, but the other sides of aviation sound interesting as well

A rose by any other name...

Gloss it up, make it sound pretty, call it what you want: Vison is PFT.

 

[urflyingme?!]

Does Scenic hire captains or just FO's?

So where does the fact that the Assistant Chief Pilot telling me that if I have 1,000 hours I won't have to PAY FOR TRAINING fit in here.

Why is this so hard to understand.

Maybe if people would explain why they are so sure it's PFT this wouldn't be so difficult.

PFT is a matter of principle and ethics. No matter when you market to take an in debt pilot's left over credit. Common sense will inform that it is a way for a strange company to stay a float.

Q: Why would the Assistant Chief Pilot tell you that you don't have to PFT when he can find someone else who will?

You may want to contact them again to confirm.

So the Captains getting hired off the street at Gulfstream are PFT?
