First off, I'm just trying to blow off some steam, so just let me rant.

I am so furious with the Gulfstream Training Academy! I am not at all one of their prospective losers, but here's the deal.....

I "ran into" one of their head guys. And for unmentioned reasons he wants to talk with me. He knows I'm currently instructing full-time, but goes on with why Gulfstream is a good choice. Starts rambling on and on about how instructing isn't for everybody and they are simply just another "option".

Now he said "instructing isn't for everybody" but in all honesty if you cant explain a maneuver to somebody or if you can't explain an instrument approach procedure, or give tips on landings, which is all instructing is really. Sure you can argue that instructing takes a little more than just that. but if it's THAT hard for you... stay out of an airplane for your sake, and my family's sake!

And half of my retarded students are trying to go to Gulfstream. I am blue in the face trying to explain to them how they are screwing our industry in the long run. Undercutting pilot's and paying for a job. Don't try to tell me you are paying for an SIC type and then get "compensated" for your work. YOU ARE PAYING FOR A JOB!!! PEOPLE ARE GETTING FURLOUGHED BECAUSE OF YOU....
