Exactly, this site was always free..before the pop up ads. Do I blame the creators of the site in selling it, nope cause I would probably do the same.

Not even Jet Careers has this many. What makes me laugh is most of these ads are for overseas training.

Read the ads.

The majority are for overseas training. I do not know how effective it is to advertise on a site which is mainly US trained pilots who are working for an airline. And for those who are not pilots on the site I wonder how many are interested in going to Europe to get their ratings when most Europeans come to the states because it is so expensive in Europe.

That Jetlink one is mighty sketchy. 67,000 euro for 500 hours as a working FO. Sounds like PFT is alive and well across the pond. I'd say that stuff is worse than the gigs we complain about over here. Any company that puts their banking information up for you to transfer your funds to is probably going to rip you off.

Sorry guys I wish I had more to contribute I am all out of things to complain about, other then

Government Bailouts to The GREEDY Folks on Wall street, and Oil jumping $20.00 a barrel, but lets not talk politics on here, otherwise this thread will get closed
SAAB,
Your credibility as an airline pilot is to be questioned. A pop up ad free site is a proud mark of a successful airline forum. I think our site has more credibility now <g>. Are you done with the USA TOday? I wanna take a look...... <bg>

It could be worse, go over to airliners.net for a few minutes and try not to have a seizure.

And FWIW, I LOL'd at this ad:

Sorry Saab....I have to raise the BS flag. When was the last time you had an earth-shattering thought?
