Nothing to consider. It was just another route available. Only in the holy land of JC was there one specific path to be followed.
Tell me, how is paying $30,000 for an interview an option that is “available to everyone”?

He simply got "modest loan from his dad" to help him skip a bunch of steps to jumpstart his career. It also gives him license to step on people who had it more difficult than he in entering this career. It's not really a method of gatekeeping. It's just that he is more privileged.
His daily diatribe.
No, there's no hatred for saying that 91/135 isn't as safe as 121 overall. Nobody disputed that. The problem comes when you say...Then perhaps it would be helpful if operators could get their hands on those approaches and fly them, instead of trying to pull circle to land approaches involving tight turns.
And to think, there’s hatred for saying one thinks it’s not as safe an operation as a 121 operation, based on accident records and well-known personal (CRM) issues ripe in that world?
“All corpies are not AS safe because they are not 121.”
...
It was about $27k.
All the more reason for making my point - it was a complete gamble.
No, you freaking dunderhead, it wasn’t.And it was a route available to everyone.
I had 3 checkrides to an airline. Private, Instrument, and Commerical/Multi. Going the other route would also have cost the same. Commercial SE, CFI Initial, CFI-I, MEI, that stuff isn't free either.
Wait, you actually are trying to frame this as you taking some huge risk and it paying off. With your parents money.The route I took was a complete gamble. One interview and if you blew it, you were SOL.
Ok, so you’re you’re trying to play the political victim card now?Only in the JC liberal minds is family paying for something for their child considered a sin. Yawn.
You completely bypassed the normal process of getting experience before stepping in a 121 cockpit.
You ridicule the idea of people of color being hired with minimum qualifications because of their lineage, while you did *exactly that*.
And you have the audacity to come on here and ridicule an entire segment of US aviation for its lack of standards?
I’ll put it this way: I would put my family on one of my company’s corporate jets long before I put them on a plane you’re flying because I know from experience what’s learned in the first 1-2k hrs…and you paid to skip that because of whatever reason.
And I’d put my family on a plane piloted by Jack Roush before I’d be ok with them in the back of a CRJ with the captain giving instruction to a 300hr FO whose parents paid for their seat.
Well, this is the dumbest take on anything I’ve ever read on this site. And that’s saying a lot on a site that has featured people like Quitch.
The entire idea of the American dream is to work hard so you can help your children get ahead. We built a nation where class mobility is a real thing, which is still unheard of in most parts of the world even hundreds of years later. His parents worked hard so he could move up the ladder. Just as I’m working hard so my stepson can move up the ladder. And presumably he’s working hard so his kids can move up the ladder. Only in some despicable Marxist dystopia is this considered a bad thing.

I think it's more like when he airbursts his totally subjective, generally uninformed, and always off-the-cuff opinions about, well, pretty much everything, people get annoyed.
It’s not about “helping our kids”, which we hopefully all work towards, but I think you know that.
I think you have no ethics whatsoever and just see every debate as a zero sum game where you must win at any cost, including unacceptable personal attacks.
Like no ethics, at all? Zero? None?
I can only get so erect.You completely bypassed the normal process of getting experience before stepping in a 121 cockpit.

Nah, I think you’re like Trump. Completely amoral and just saying whatever it takes to “win.”
Outspoken opinionated Gulfstream guy comes to the defense of outspoken opinionated JetU guy. Sounds about right. Brothers in arms
