GIA, RAA, PFT, its not the airline that will black ball you its the pilots. We all get a little bitter when daddy picks up the bill or some salesman talks one of our future brothers into borrowing more money only to see them get stuck with a $600 payment and a $1200 income and having to get out of the business just to repay the loans. Its disheartening.
I was in an X-jet interview with a guy who announced he was a gulf streamer, aside from not having a clue he did not get the job. He was a moron but I heard one of the other guys in the interview had a connection with one of the interviewers. When it was his turn to interview he told his connection about this guy being a gulf streamer and the fact that he seemed idiot. Needless to say he got the walk.
I meet guys all the time with RAA type ratings that can't figure out which way is up and can not even come close to having someone talk to them about a job at their airline.
Get your Cfi make $15-$25 bucks an hour for a year, learn more than you ever will in a class room and become a professional pilot! That’s my advise.
Flame on~!
