C'mon guys, there's a pilot shortage at lots of regionals I can name because FO's don't like being abused, only having 10 days off, trying to commute on oversold flights, and getting paid peanuts to do it.
Now is there a shortage at places most of us would like to work? (That's a rhetorical question!)

:yeahthat:
I'm just a little "touchy" still about a name mentioned in the press release.
I can wait for the NJC dish, but I am guessing Doug had some less than desirable badinteractions with Mr. lawn maintenance device :whatever: either at ERAU or Atlanta Suthern Innanashunal (or whatever the nickname is.)

Where is that Ninja Pilot guy, maybe they'll dish him some $$ for screwing him over or get him a job?

Well well well...the day has finally arrived! I'm so excited about the opportunity to revive my experience with the CAPT program I hardly know where to start with this. I actually posted my comments to the "Changing Careers" section of this message board. In any case, I think our duty is clear in this case. Find all new students and parties interested and warn them off from this resurrection of CAPT. I think this resurrection will be like a secondary stall...as if the first one wasn't bad enough. They're going to keep the same incompentent management to run this operation. I really feel sorry for anyone who would attend this CAPT program having been a victim of them myself. But I feel worse for this guy Shawn Raker who is the CEO of this Flight Training Services International; which incidentally, I've spent the past 30 minutes looking EVERYWHERE on the Internet for this company...it's like it doesn't exist or something. Anyway, folks, be warned. This program isn't all that. Take my word for it. I wish I can tell you about the other lives that CAPT ruined by I will not dishonor their privacy. Be warned!

"CAPT was a tremendously effective experiment in proving that an individual could go from zero flight time to the right seat of a commercial jetliner with as little as 225 flight hours"
Experiment. Heh. They're still experimenting. And if you sign up with them, you're going to be paying for it.
"Of the program's 71 graduates, 57 have been hired as pilots by regional airlines, cargo carriers, and corporate flight departments since it began in August 2003."
According to their web site today of current hires, they say they placed 42 people. So are they lying about the 57 as being hired? I noticed that they didn't take credit for the three cadets that paved their own way. So where are these other 15 people? I know they had one or two classes graduate (typically 6 people in a class) and I know for a fact not all of them got placed! The most recent class only had 2 placements with Focus out of 5. Unreal.
I find it absolutely funny (and scary if you're looking into this CAPT program) how Careers in Aviation and Flight Training Services International are nowhere to be found on the Internet. What are they hiding here? Or is it just another example of their incompentence at information distribution?
"For more information on FTSI and the CAPT program, visit www.captprogram.org."
That's great. Except there is no information on FTSI there. Good job showing your incompetence on the Internet boys.
