Apart from the whole PFT debate, the whole operation just seemed wrong. It's like Disney for those who have too much money to spend and a lack of braincells to match. Pay enough money, we'll put you in the right seat of an airliner so you can play airline pilot! Yay!
Walking through the facility and thinking all these people had forked over $25K so they could play airline pilot and to think that at one time you could fork over even more money and they would take you from zero to right seat hero just seemed odd.
There is one positive, spend enough time at Gulfstream you'll be declaring your first emergency because the nose gear will not come down. Sounds like fun to me!

I totally dissagree, I'm getting ready to separate from active duty Army. The only way I can even afford flight training is by doing the PFT route. Thats the only way the G.I. Bill will cover at least 60%. Besides PFTers are still training. How much time and money is invested is irrevelent and their business. OJT helps too! The point is to get the time needed to get in.
