Furthermore, many of them were fortunate enough to have been hired on the front end of the last hiring wave. A few have even upgraded and many of them are senior enough to not have to worry about the big F!
Just thought I'd set the record straight...
It's a scam and it always was a scam to separate starry-eyed kids from their (or their lender's) money with no promise for a job. What are CAPT placement rates? My guess is that they're just as horrendous now as they were when the program started. Not that I'm at all a fan of PFT but who would sign up for this when FlightSafety has a program that guarantees you a job BEFORE you put the money down? It's too bad that old 'CAPT is crap' website is down now, it set the record straight. CAPT is almost as bad as Gulfstream Academy...
