Flying ninja, I'll ask again. How much research did you do before you went to CAPT? Were you on the message boards looking?

"I know some people at Gulfstream(another outfit that uses the 250 hour pilots) and they are doing awsome jobs. Word is that many of them are better than your 1500 CFI"
Funny how Skywest will hire a 1500 hour CFI but not a 500 hour wonder from the Gulfstream program....

its cuz we dont feel the need to waste our time fighting all the negativity embry riddle is the harvard of the skies and the aero sci degree is the best training u can get as a pilot cuz the instructors make sure u say "checklist complete" its like working for a real airline and its well rounded since u have to take non-calculus physics and a basic economics elective u could also work for NASA or on Wall Street if u wanted.

Based on Uncle Bose's comments I don't think we need to add much fuel to the fire.
Then again, many of those that I know who graduated from there don't need to run their mouth. They let their abilities do the talking for them like anybody else who knows what they're doing. Brooding about whatever college you went to usually is the result of a feeling of inadequacy.

See, as much as I'd like to say that, I've never actually known one. Are there a lot of Streamers where you work?

And what kind of person would that be?
He's a very respected poster over at JC and a great asset to the site.
Anyone who spent that kind of money and felt he got screwed would be upset. Nothing wrong with being upset and but still trying to get your monies worth out of it.
What's your point again?

Ok, pilotskies, do you have a rational basis (or any basis at all) for your inflammatory statements about Flying Ninja? His posts, like all posts here, reflect his opinions. I'm old enough and ugly enough to figure out for myself whether to believe anything anybody says around here.
