United gets cozy with Gulfstream

Hmmm. Not to defend Gulfstream or Tom Cooper but I got hired there in 1998 as a direct hire Captain at a time when they were short qualified newbies w/ 1500tt.

I was charged ZERO so I cannot complain about that issue. Sure I flew with some really inexperinced guys but I enjoyed the challenge of helping them along and teaching them a bit about the industry.

Oh, I was Key West based and single at the time so that didn't suck had had a blast. IN 14 months I got 200 SIC and 1000 PIC.

I am not surprised about any of the recent bad pubicity (Buffalo, scheduling or the MX parts issue).

But all in all, now in my 11th year at Delta I really think it was a great time and enjoyable part of my career.

Not sure I would have mentioned that part! And you had to say "suck" too! :laugh: jk!

OK, well, in any event, all the fishing, and beer drinking with vacationing Michigan girls one could want.

No regrets (other than previous choice of words)
