Cruz, Archer, looking forward to seeing you both there too! Sorry bout that that Cruz, must have gotten the wrong impression from what you wrote. As far as direct entry Captains, I don't know about that or how they hire for that. I am going in as a SIC. When the time comes for upgrade, I plan on being ready for it. Cruz, great advice for everyone. Also from USMC. Training contracts are part and parcel and is to ensure that the operator doesn't spend this money on you then you bail. Whether you decide to come to GIA or not, investigate matters for yourself then make the decision ON FACTS-
not rumor or gossip. Had I not gone down for that interview, I am sure I would have regretted it. To each his/her own - all the best in whatever you choose to do.
