I think NDBs' are cool. Learning them was uncool. Now that I know what I'm doing when I shoot one I have mixed emotions about them leaving -all that time to learn how to shoot the approach and swoosh! Thier gone. Can't say I will miss em, I won't. Bring on Garmin!

[ QUOTE ] i'd just chalk it all up to "marketing" he got took! haha [/ QUOTE ] Kristie, actually it was the recruiter from express jet that told him this. So everyone, I called X- jet and guess what? You need to call (866) 760-9538. They will help answer your questions- and be sure...

[ QUOTE ] as a matter of fact, i just heard back from my "inside source" and he says "HELLS NO, XJET isn't hiring at 400/100" where ever you got that info from was WAY wrong. maybe the story goes that he needed *another* 400 hrs??? [/ QUOTE ] Don't know. He seemed pretty stoked though and...

If anyone has dealt with X-Jet, let us know how it turned out.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Just to let everyone know, X-Jet has once again lowered thier mins. It was 600/100 now unofficially 400/100 with a college degree, and you just saved $11,000.00 for this one. [/ QUOTE ] I know that I am not yet close, but can someone confirm this? Not that I don't believe...

Just to let everyone know, X-Jet has once again lowered thier mins. It was 600/100 now unofficially 400/100 with a college degree, and you just saved $11,000.00 for this one. ASA has also lowered thier mins to 600/100. Check thier website. So if any DCA guys have close to these numbers, come on...

Everyone, this thread dealt with protecting your money and if you felt "shafted" by DCA, and 3 possible ways to remedy it. With Deltas' financial situation growing more precarious daily, it would behoove all of you still attending DCA to put your money into a protected account, for your own...

[ QUOTE ] You should get your facts straight. I was upset with you including Vic's name into this mess. My curiosity on finding out who you are is just to know in which category you really fit in, by consulting your flight records. The flying eval was just an excuse to get more flight time...

Oh Fabio, offended are we? You sound upset, and why are you trying to find out who I am? Oh by the way, who told you DCA was an airline? Ha,ha,ha. I agree with Mr. Nixon. There are more important things in life than bantering with you. You are funny though, and seeing you lose your cool is...

You know what they say Doug, no one ever leaves the "Mafia".

I agree with you there Z, it doesn't matter what school you go to now, as long as you get good training. I can't comment on the Gulfstream thing,since I don't know much about that program- nor will I comment on a certain school charging in excess of $80,000.00 for Private thru CFI MEI when you...

Fabio, what is the point in doing a checkride with you, anyway? What do I have to prove to you- if you can't sign off my ticket as an FAA examiner- what are you really interested in? Isn't it because management is trying to find out about who is writing this expose' and informing people of...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Fabio, you do of course realize that the PTS applies to everyone, from DCA to Pan Am to Flight Safety to yes even Falcon. For you to insinuate that Falcon is lax or something along those lines is totally irresponsible. How can you make a Judgement on something you haven't...

Try to find a flight school that may get you your ratings at that price might work for you, or if you need a degree, that may be a source by going to college.

[ QUOTE ] (crickets chirping) Good post Fabio....you're a hard worker and a good problem solver......keep it up! [/ QUOTE ] Problem not solved, and crickets stepped on ! So you only do homework at recurrent, what you flyin besides the Z28?Man would I like to see the checklist on...

Fabio, you do of course realize that the PTS applies to everyone, from DCA to Pan Am to Flight Safety to yes even Falcon. For you to insinuate that Falcon is lax or something along those lines is totally irresponsible. How can you make a Judgement on something you haven't experienced? Are...

Flyboi, what happened between DCA and KEY is fact, believe what you want.( The person you spoke to likely didn't have prior knowledge, so of course they would deny it.) Why do you think all new students have a choice, Key made them do it, or else! So Key offered you an extra $20,000.00, good for...

Muscles you were never accused of anything nor do I imply that. And unlike some instructors there, I am glad to see you aren't like that. Yes, to thier own personal( The Instructors) credit, DCA has good instructors who hold themselves to a higher standard, and thats' good. I even remember some...

[ QUOTE ] How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you keep refering to yourself as "the bastard" and make references that make us all believe that you have Austin Powers - Goldmember playing in the background on continuous loop?.......you maybe should consider turning off the...

[ QUOTE ] I don't quote the entire thing because it's super long and most does not apply to this conversation. People can simply refer back to your post for the full thing. Okay maybe you were not making rumors about closure, but threats of causing one. Sorry, my bad. You do continue to...

How nice Fo, select qouting. Why is it, when the pro DCA guys/gals say something nasty you ignore that? And who is starting rumors about the school shutting down? Not the bastard, my post dealt with those who felt they were taken advantage of or perhaps victimized! Period! End of story. And they...

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Update!! My sources in management at DCA informed me that Delta today warned about a possible Bankrupcy filing. It makes it all the more imperative, according to my sources, that you put your monies into a protected account right away, since the after affect of this Will...

Update!! My sources in management at DCA informed me that Delta today warned about a possible Bankrupcy filing. It makes it all the more imperative, according to my sources, that you put your monies into a protected account right away, since the after affect of this Will impact you. (Just to...

Z, what makes you think I didn't? Excellent suggestion, too. All you DCA students, please pay attention to this.

Amoeba, have you considered, mmmm, perhaps therapy? Where do you come up with this stuff? Were you a writer for Law and Order,or a Agatha Christie mystery novel? Your talents are wasted here. Muscles, I can't speak for Vic, and your thinly vieled threat is wasted here. You ought to use that...

Funny Guys, very funny. And I am currently on a break right now, so no flying fore me, personal problems. (a severe case of BASTARDITIS!!)

Re: And now, it begins. Hearsay? Meaningless You hear rumors from management? That sounds, well fishy. Again rumors/hearsay hold no value to me. My point is to inform the consumer, whether you believe it happened or not is not at issue here. Those people who were wronged believe it, despite...

Re: And now, it begins. Same to you FO. But many people have complained about the same thing. I know you will go far in your career. Take Care.

[ QUOTE ] By the way, you just called up at random and spoke to Fred Buttrell? Holy cow, if it's that easy, you should have asked for a job when you called, that is if you could stand working for Comair. [/ QUOTE ] Yes, Fred will talk to you or allow you to address your concerns, there are...

The Flight instructor that did it, yes he's still there,along with his buddy. When DCA takes your money, they put it in thier own private bank account. So yea,they will claim its' insured, but only if the bank goes under,not if DCA shuts thier doors. (Misleading isn't it?) The Manager that...

Re: Good Riddance Hey! I'm the only BASTARD on these forums!

So the Tab Express and ATA guys are getting thier money back any day now? As far as rumors go, who's spreading rumors? I deal in facts. When I said milked, that's what I meant, not because you were having trouble learning a skill. I mean having your instructor take advantage of a student for...

try 10.00 buck an hour,no benefits, and all the bovine manure you can shovel. But you better not, or else you be fired!! So don't complain if after only 6 mos. you get 30 hours dual, and your locked into a contract, ahhh -you know the rest.

For those of you who had a not so nice experience at Delta Connection Academy (To put it Mildly) please feel Free to Contact : Office of Attorney General Charlie Crist State of Florida The Capitol PL-01 Tallahasee,Florida 32399-1050 Fraud Hotline 1-866-966-7266 You can also visit thier...

The reason why they are doing this is simple. A lot of students are leaving the program after being shafted,defrauded,(Key Bank loan,anyone?) and milked, like a Holstien Heifer!! MOOOOOO!

Re: flying drivers! Just find a nice, well known fbo and get your training there, save your money. Get the degree, you want to have something to fall back on, and I would suggest a r.j. transition course you would find at like all atps if thats' your goal. As one who formerly attended a well...

What you asked for isn't unreasonable. I can do that, and Matt Nixon, please excuse my ignorance as well as the rest of my fellow Jetcareers members. Personal attacks have no place here or anywhere for that matter. Sometimes you must walk a mile in a mans' shoes to understand where he's been and...

Z-28, While I respect your views I don't have to agree with them. Since you last left the academy, things have changed, sadly, for the worse. Actually I havn't revealed my experience yet for "res ipso loquiter" a latin term. You mention how well your experince was, good for you! But not...

Funny Matt, and why are you still at DCA? Put in a few apps and get the hell out of there! C'mon man, get to a regional as soon as you get the mins! If you need multi,hey find someone to split the cost with you and bang it out. Oh yeah X-Jet is hiring without an $11,000 doin you a favor fee.
