30 grand given to gulfstream is 30 grand (or much more if you financed it) you just spent spinning your wheels. What job are you going to get with your 400 hours that you couldnt get by being a flight instructor?

Not really, but then again we didnt draw the line:cool: I mean you have to know a response is coming Besides what are we all doing up so late.....lol |
TPROP4ever-
A bit of history correction for you and your superbly trained self: GTA has done primary training in the very recent past, although probably had already ceased the program when you put down your 25 grand to keep warm the right seat of an airliner- further assisting in the downward pull on this industry. Theres your flame. |

Theres your flame. Actually I guess if I am as you put it "supurbly trained" you must be also since we were trained to the same standards as set forth by the FAA...nice try at putting somone down, good way not to have to look up at them eh????? I think ill have to go up in the PITTS this weekend, so while your hitting the button on "GEORGE", ill be doing barrel rolls remembering what it is about flying I love....I truly hope I never get as jaded as people like you. |
I believe the Pinnacle Captain went to Riddle.

At my airline which flys CRJs I have flown with half a dozen or more ex Gulfstreamers of which ALL of them were as, if not more knowledgeable than other Captains that went other routes. On most all occasions, in which there are many, I have seen the GIA guys hand fly raw data longer on T/O and land smoother on touchdown tons of times. This argument of GIA producing poor pilots is just pilot drama for drama sake. The stick and rudder skills are either there or not and engrained well before CFIing. Sure more hours slowly refine these skills but the basics are either there or not by that point. What did I gain of value from instructing you ask??? Not much, besides free hours and personal satisfaction of knowing I taught someone to fly. Stall recovery techniques and so forth were already in my bank of knowledge by this point. Not everyone reacts the correct way every time in a no S##t emergency and U CFI's should know this. Some guys/gals have it and some guys/gals don't. That's your dose of reality. So let go of these Holier-than-Thou attitudes some of you have because you instructed. Everyone takes their own path and if they're not cut out for it they are usually weeded out WELL before the regional level as Captains.
u right, just drama sake!! just enjoy flying regarless where u came from! |

Neither one of these beliefs has anything do do with the Pinnacle crash. However the Capt of the Pinnacle crash did go to Riddle. |
