Default Pay For Training

Pay for training

Someone once told me that PFT is a bad idea that will get you blackballed from the industry. I remember that kind of talk fifteen years ago back when they use to sell most commuter jobs. I never saw anything negative happen to those guys except they they all got furloughed from their cushy jobs at the majors few years later. I say that no one cares about PFT and that in fact we all pay for training through, buying our initial training, type ratings, training contracts and low pay. what is to stop you from buying your first job?

The human resources people at most companies can barely tell which college degrees are real let alone keeping up with the latest PFT programs. The crusty old Captains at the interview don't follow that kind of thing. Besides after that first job it doesnt make a difference anyway. Kill Bill will tell you that even union scabs can't even get blackballed these days. Why they even run the union at CAL.

The only people who get bent out of shape about PFT are those who are competing for the same positions. A twenty year airline captain couldn't tell you what the ERU Captain program is from anything else. We all are dealt a different hand in life. Some have youth and early wisdom. Some have a papa to walk their resumes in at a nice major airline. Others fit a desired cultural sub set. Some may only have money to open doors with. I say who cares? Do what you have to to get ahead. No one will care two years from now.

Skyhigh, I'm convinced you will be a chief pilot someday. You will participate in the firing of pilots under some sort of intimidation program and be handsomely rewarded by someone like Jonathan Ornstein (scum of the earth)

Prove me wrong
