I spent 4 years getting to where I am, and I did work my butt off, and I am extremely proud of what I have accomplished. So whats your idea of paying your dues, 160 grand at ERAU and then CFI for peanuts for 2 or more years...hoping some student doesnt kill you, passing on a unrecognized negative attitude to your students because you really dont want to be there in the first place, and then you go to an airline and hope and pray that you are prepared for the 121 training thats about to smack you in the forhead...to each their own. Im not saying any one way is better, but dont rule other alternatives out either...again that word..ATTITUDE, life is what you make it.

My previous post was not aimed at you, or anyone in particular. I do not know how you, or anyone else on this board got to where they are today.

I was sharing my opinion that, some people jump into PFJ’s and do not have any clue that they are damaging our profession. And I am sure there are those that have chose that route, with full knowledge that it is a sham, and do not care who they have to step over or how low in drives the bar, as long as they get to an airline job as soon as possible.
