PFT Negativity
To you guys that responded to my post... "Personality that's totally unsuitable for CFI work?" Who are you guys to judge me? I guess you guys are reading way too much into what I wrote. No need for the further negativity. Someone asked about Gulfstream... I gave my opinion. I think it was a great program. It was a great learning experience that anyone could take advantage of. It helped me and it has helped my friends... Not only to get into companies like Pinnacle but to get into the "best" regionals, like Horizon and Skywest as you guys said. I didn't take a job away from anyone. I didn't eliminate a job. I got MYSELF a job!! I saw an open door, and I walked through. I weighed my options... $15,000 grand for Commercial Single, CFI, CFII and if I were smart, MEI... and then, work for $10 an hour for a year or two... Or $30,000 for the 121 time. I chose and I was successful and now I will have a job. And, you're damn right I'll take it, regardless if it gets me a job less than industry standards. We all have to start somewhere. Anyone else in my shoes would do the same.
But, to the original person that asked about Gulfstream... It was a fantastic time. You learn a lot, you become a great pilot, flying into some of the largest and smallest airports in the world. You'll be held to high standards, but in the end, Gulfstream's success rate will speak for itself. Good luck nick@FL350! Let me know if you have any questions about the program!
