gulfstream pros and cons
I am looking into the pros and cons while considering Gulfstream Intl Academy. So far everything I have read has been positive. The reality of my story is that I am a low time commercial pilot and I need to get to the left seat pretty quick. I 'd rather not turn this into a bashing session. Some people do things different in this career. I have seen that their history has proven itself in getting pilots where they needed to be quickly. Some help please, possibly from someone who has attended the academy. Thanks!

If you can afford it it, by all means go ahead...but all that money isn't going to buy you a captain seat there.

Now, define "low time." There are airlines who are not PFT that are hiring with wet commerical multis. The great thing about the market right now is that even somone with bare minimum time has choices, so we(the pilot groups) have the opportunity to take a swing at operations that do not respect the professional qualifications and investment of their crews. If you have the choice, do not work for companies that pay less than peanuts(working on the rest of the industry, but killing off bottom feeders needs to be done first).

Why do you want to buy a job? We work for money, not the other way 'round.

Yeah, flamebait. Great first post though. I'm locking this to put the fire out.
