GFT Direct Hire F/O's
 

GFT is now picking up off the street FO's. 2 of em in my class......one has like 2200 in a CRJ from FLG and another guy has about 1100 total. Both went through GFT in the past years and are now back to get a quick upgrade for that turbine PIC. Also a lot of off the street captains are coming in and the for the guys who pay, employment is guaranteed at the end of the 250-300 hours for the program................

GFT - Gulfstream?

Yea gulfstream as in the place you guys always hate on....lol

I think its pretty amusing to hear "direct hire FO."

LOL.....your right. Aren't we all direct hire F/O's???????? :p

WHAT!?! They aren't going to make you pay $30k plus to be a $17k a year FO? Is the world going right side up?!

Not exactly. Why would somebody pay that kind of money to fly a 1900 around? Nowadays, you can pay the SAME money at one of the pilot schools and do the "CRJ/jet training course" instead and get hired to fly a shiny jet with an APU and a flight attendant, for roughly $2-4000 more a year.

If someone really has 2200 CL65 time at Pinnacle they don't need to go to Gulfstream chasing a fast upgrade...they should be a 9E Captain by now.

Don't know but the sticker price on that place was $32k when they came to our school to recruit. They then turned around and paid you $8 an hr for 250hrs of flight time which they worked you at slowly. Then once the 250hrs was up you could try and stay on as an actual FO.

I'm glad you got the humor of what I posted :rolleyes:.
