Wait till media finds out about PFT Paying for Training/bonds

[Colonel Savage]

Give 'em the scoop!

Send the media the links to gulfstream with an explanation of who/what they are. See what happens....

yes, no other professions requires you to pay for training, give me a break - I don't think the media or the public will see this issue the same way pilots do. 500 hours is the same flying checks or paying for training.

I hope you can see the difference in flying checks rather than shelling out $20,000 to be a passenger on a 1900. This is why there is a lack of experience out there is b/c people want to buy their way in rather than work for it and maybe learn something along the way. I think the guys that fly checks may even go through a cloud or two also which would be nice before you fly 121.

 

[Afraid to Fly]

If someone on here has flown with some guys that went to Gulfstream or other PFJ places OR if you went to GIA or a PFJ type of place and would like to talk to some media outlets about your concerns, PM me. I can get you in touch, I know some large media outlets are interested.

the worst part of it is that the passengers dont have a clue they are flying on training flights.

They don't have a clue when they are on an IOE flight, either-rocketboy!

Quite the large difference there. Line check airman with a new checkout is way different than standard GIA captain puke with sandbag PFT FO.

Bingo.

When I came to a regional, I had 2000 hours.

When I was doing IOE for a major, I already had a type rating in the aircraft.

See the difference?

Pay 20k at Gulfstream Airlines to recieve 500 hours in right seat.

O that should add more roast.

It was brought up on day #2 of the hearing.
