Another reason why it wouldnt work here is because we hired alot of Gulfstream guys, who are all now capts...
I was taxiing slow as ba$$s in DTW the other day and this idiot on the radio goes "beep beep" as I rounded the corner on K it was on of our guys right on my a@@. So I stopped because a pax got up... I hate it when that happens.
These Gstreamers paid 20K to fly a 1900, you think they even care if they get paid here? They just like to look in the mirror at the super 8 motel and see those shinny wings.
Pinnacle is filled with idiots that think 1000hrs of PIC and then they are gonna get this magic job at the best airline in the world...
I give ASA guys ALOT of credit because they have ba%%s and we dont.

Plus by the time your seniority holds MEM CA, then you wait your required year to attempt upgrade again,
there will be a mass exodus from the majors due to age 65 and you just might get on there with the bare PIC mins

it never was flowthru (at least not at 9e). More of a preferential hiring/interview thing. Seems like most of the "crj transition" courses or whatever they are called now(jetU, riddle,ATP and the like) seems to have kept Gulfstream pretty quiet. You can pay 20k or whatever and have to fly in an airline environment for a few months before getting on at a jet regional (gulfstream), or you can pay 20k at the crj transition and go straight to a jet regional....so the gulfstream route, if they still have it anywhere, is slower these days.

You misunderstood me. I said I like to chase purple tail. (it's an s&m thing, you wouldnt understand).

I hope your kidding man... which I think you are. but the next class or classes that purple has is gonna be filled with backed up military apps and mostly all the furloughed people out there from the various cargo and ATA/Champion etc.. guys.
1,000 hours of PIC myth is gone and I'm tired of hearing it.

I can hear it now....Robert Stack in his Unsolved Mysteries voice...
"Have you heard of the 1000 tpic regional pilot who gets on at a major? Some feel that you are about as likely to see a bigfoot or a mermaid than get on at a major with 1000 tpic. Many feel betrayed because their flight school told them they would be at Major of their choice with 1000 hours. $50,000 debt and 1000 hours later, they are still at a regional. Maybe you have seen him, if so you are one of the lucky ones. Stay tuned for tonights special edition episode of "unsolved airline mysteries." "

And yes I was being sarcastic in the earlier post. Those who are still sitting here expecting a FDX call just because they have 1000TJPIC and have a resume on file are kidding themselves.

Funny post. You call him out for wanting to make his commute to spend as much time with his family, then give the reason why you don't commute. Pot meet kettle
