*Continental, and probably scabs.

*Continental, and probably scabs.

Every Gulfstream attendee was too young to be a scab. I believe the only opportunity was during the Spirit strike, when that one MD80 flew a scab route, I think 3 pilots total were officially picket line crossers.

Cause I’ve flown with them. And some of them are at your shop.

kindest souls I’ve met in aviation

That’s such a weird thing to say

Right up there with
"Well listen, I wish you well, and Ill see you on the line" when told he is doing a routine 20 minute flight to Key West.

They were from the south, very polite, and you could tell they were raised well.

Except the whole scab dad thing who paid for them to start the race from the 50m line

Their dad scabbed. That’s not on the kids. You can’t hold something against the kids for the action of their dad.

Well unless they changed names, they aren't.

Last name Swanson. Bo is Delta last I heard. The other one Fedex, last I heard.

I remember Gulfstream, and JetU... wonder where those pay to play kids are now!

Flew with a former silver guy, now AS CA on a trip not too long ago. I did not know any of the history of this place, or even of its existence. He was a cool guy

Whatever you can say about JetU I don't see how attending it is comparable to PFT/PFJing.

One of my favorite captains to fly with at C5, who was also my sim partner when I transitioned to the EMB-145, came from Gulfstream (I think he came to CommutAir before the name change to Silver). Also a cool guy.

The real story here is DPApilot surviving Silver.... or Silver surviving him.

Or Chalks - i'd rather hear those stories than creepy cruzers

 

[Cessnaflyer]

lol, I honestly thought they folded years ago.

That's what I also thought until I saw them a few days ago in Nassau. They were on my list of possible airlines to get into 121 in 2012 but I ended up at the opposite end of the country.

 

[killbilly]

This isn't good. We get a lot of feed from Silver.

Adam?

 

[DPApilot]

weren't they a pay-to-play airline years ago?

if so...sorry about the current employees but....

edit: yup confirmed....buh bye

Sorta a garbage thing to say considering most of the people there had nothing to do with Gulfstream. Sorta like saying good riddance to any of the connections carriers that had those programs.
