But, yeah, I think entering the biz via Gulfstream Academy is not honorable.

"By the way, if Delta had a 737 f/o program and if I was paying 50K to get 737 flight time I would"

Well, I often pose that question to people who think Gulfstream Academy is a good choice and I often hear the answer you give about just buying a job at a major if you could. It's that sort of attitude that guarantees that PFJ will always be around, for a select few, and Gulfstream F/O's will continue to be a revenue source for their airline. It's also certain that people like you are managements wet dream and will help to lower the career expectations for pilots entering the industry for years to come.

I don't know how to say this nicely, so I'll just leave you with this. You have a lot to learn about the biz. Hopefully you'll figure it out before you make any big mistakes.
