Yeah, send 'em here instead! www.prairieairservice.com :) |
I live in South Florida and happen to know quite a few Gulfstreamers. Since September '06 I've known 6 people to leave for bigger and better companies. One guy is at Continental mainline, one guy at Airtran, three guys at Spirit, and one girl at UPS. These are just people I know...I'm sure many more have left as well. Seems like they are getting good jobs, instead of "going nowhere". Just an observation.

Sure about that? Mins of 850/100 for ATP grads, that's lower then 1000/100, if my math is correct.
http://www.atpflightschool.com/image...t_Alliance.gif I understand why they are doing this...they are losing good quality applicants who are getting jobs at 600 hours elsewhere. This way they can get them on the hook earlier. That last 150 hours would go by pretty quick if you know you have a job waiting. |

So why would you want to pay huge amounts for a transition type course? Buy some ME time and start sending out resumes.
The problem with GIA is that you are paying to work a job. That takes jobs out of the available pool for people that deserve it. Tell you what, pay me $30,000 and I'll give you 100 hours of ME time and you can be my personal assistant for the next 6 months. Oh and lets not forget that fact that every person in the industry that finds out you paid to fly for GIA will hate your guts and make you miserable. Its just wrong and you know it is. |

I've already answered this question. No. I don't get paid. However, as a self-proclaimed intelligent consumer I know a good deal when I see it...

-LAFF I have limited experience with ATP, but I have to agree that if you're looking for a package-deal kind of place it seems decent (compared to the other big schools). They don't try to send non-cfi's to airlines, and they do not appear to try to rip you off in training. My preference would still be a good mom & pop kind of place at the local patch...if one is available. You can meet all kinds of people at a place like that. |
