Uhhhh....... I think I just dry heaved watching that crap!!! Unbelievable!

Here's a story I can relate. Upon being furloughed from a regional turned low-cost startup, I did a brief stint at Ameriflight flying a BE99 to get that elusive turbine PIC. They ran the same scam for low time pilots (with a lot of cash to burn) to build up their "time". I flew with one of these low-time pilots whose father worked for mainline CAL. She was the most worthless crew-member I have ever come across - apart from a 32 year veteran of AA, go figure. Couldn't fly worth a damn, operate a radio, track an airway or identify the COP's for me. But hey, thanks to her logging PIC time on the part 91 flights (even though I refused to give her the controls), she's probably scored a cushy job somewhere putting the lives of passengers at risk.
Food for thought.
