Gulfstream style PFJ is a bad way to enter the biz. We have Tprop here trying to paint it in the best light he can put fourth. He's done about as good a job as I've seen since the blight of PFJ has been on us. But, in the end, I find no reason to sway on my opinion of Gulfstream's "buy an airline pilot job" program.

Gulfstream's scheme of buying your way into a 121 airline pilot job is a bad deal for our profession. It lowers the bar in a profession that is seeing constant attacks from all directions and makes a mockery of the process of becoming an airline pilot.

There are few things I'd call a fellow pilot out for, but this is one. Make no bones about it. People that enter the biz via Gulfstream need to be educated on the harm this does to the profession.
