I'm curious to see what the opinions are of the folks who had negative outlooks about this place initially. Now that everything has changed do you feel like it still is a terrible place to go? Not that it will change my mind I just would like to see opinions.

 

The place still is, always has been, and always will be the scumball of all airlines. It will never change. This is not a place where respectable aviators work. If you're looking for someone to pat you on the back for getting a job there, you are not going to get it from someone who does not work there.

 

Well, I'm going to work there. I'm respectable, and a damn good aviator too.

 

By that token no regional is respectable and by the looks of the way Majors are it seems to be the same. I think those of us who interviewed did pretty well in stopping the PFT from happening. Everyone banded together and said no. Then we got the results we wanted it's a "small" step in the right direction.

 

I do not work there, and have to say to you guys hired, congrats! I guess there was little truth to that troll post.

 

I like this post and I agree.

 

Yea man- get your stuff in if interested!

 

That's a little arrogant for someone with your little experience. I would never hire nor recommend someone from Gulfstream International. I have flown with a few pilots from there, and they are the worst of the worst as a whole (there are always exceptions). The Colgan crash, Comair crash, and Pinnacle crash all had pilots from Gulfstream. The infamous naked Pinnacle pilot in MDT was former Gulfstream. The airline was started by a proud Eastern scab. For years, pilots would pay $25,000 for training (at flight safety the training is about $5,000), then fly 250 hours in the right seat for minimum wage and no per diem. After the 250 hours, these pilots had the option to pay more money for more flight time or resign. They have put car parts in their aircraft. The list goes on and on. I understand for you it is probably your only option with your low time. This place preys on ignorant pilots like youself with no options unless you want to flight instruct. Good luck to you.

 

Not arrogance nor ignorance, but justified confidence. There is a reason I have no checkride failures, finished my multi commercial in less than 4 hours, and pretty much finished all my ratings in the minimum time required by the FAA. What I lack in experience, I try to make up for by having sound theoretical knowledge. Your right, because I can't fly to Canada, no other regional will give me a shot, but GIA will so I'm going, and I'll be above average. Fortunately I will not need your recommendation to be successful in my career.

Not to mention my TT is 2900/160, and I've been flying since I was 16, so I'm not exactly inexperienced.

 

Disregard. My post was a classless cheap shot.
