the reason many of us "older" pilots have a problem with PFT is that it has helped subvert the entire piloting profession. what kind of message are you giving management? it's bad enough to work for totally crap wages to build time but at least you're getting paid to fly. now you guys come along and HAPPILY PAY some crappy company like gulfstream or whomever to sit in the right seat! no wonder the profession is sliding downhill faster than an avalanche. name me one other job where YOU PAY MANAGEMENT to be responsible for people's lives.
sad.
