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.
