CAPT Program: Questions and Answers

Re: Where is Seth?

Also, can a SEL COM pilot jump into the middle of CAPT?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. CAPT has retooled the Experienced Pilot program in order to fit the training needs of pilots who have acquired various levels of certificates and ratings. There are four levels and they range from entry at Private Pilot through CPL AMEL ASEL I.

The CAPT web site has further information at http://www.captprogram.org.

Anyone? Beuler?

If someone asked a question about CAPT, he'd probably pop up again. This thread has deviated so far from the original subject, I don't think he's had any reason to post anything.

Let's give it a try.

Seth, how's the success rate been lately? How many CAPT grads hired last month? Who hired them?

[/ QUOTE ]

As of today, July 1st, 50% of our graduates have been hired. The airlines include ASA, Piedmont and Focus Air. One graduate was hired as a corporate pilot. Of the remaining graduates, 5 airlines have asked for their packets and we are confident that upwards of 75% will be hired from that group.

Since we did not have a graduating class in June, no one was hired during the past month.

Regards,

Seth

Use this link. The error was a result of the . at the end of the url.

50% of the total number of graduates from the program to date?

[/ QUOTE ]

Doing what? Right seat in a Kingair? Corporate, or just something other than airline?

Just for statistic purposes, can you give us an idea of how many people have enrolled in CAPT to date?

50% of the total number of graduates, correct. Yes, he was hired by a private corporation, but I'll have to get back to you to find out what kind of airplane he is flying.

I did that and basically it says call our representatives, why didn't you just say that?
 
I'm with Doug and DE727UPS as an alumni of ERAU. I was there in the good ol' days and left in "76" . Believe me when I say that things have changed since I did my last flight in a Cessna 310 which Riddle used for multi training. Back then the flight cost was not that much different than the local FBO. My, my, have times changed. I see where Riddle suits have figured the cash cow of flight training and, along with high high cost per credit, hour stick it to the uneducated. It makes not difference where the degree was obtained. Just go out and get one. I have researched aviation degrees and which schools offer an aviation degree if that is what you want. There is a school in Utah that offers an on-line degree for around $22,000 and it is fully accredited. A person could stay at home, take flying lessons, and attend college at the same time. It is the lowest cost way to earn a degree and the necessary flight training.

Why can't the actual costs be listed on the CAPT website?

What are the actual costs?

Ok, thats fine, but you could of just said contact recruitment for entering the program already with some flying experience.

I wait to see the response on the other posts before calling.

There're quite a few valid questions that have not been answered yet too.
 
Re: Where is Seth?

Look. You guys are expecting waaaay to much out of Seth. He's pretty high up in CAPT and will steer away from anything that requires a hard answer that might not put CAPT in a good light. Like I said before, he's a PR guy (not that there is anything wrong with that). What do you expect?

He's not going to tell you anything that could possibly put the CAPT program in a negative light, especially since so many of the professional pilots at jetcareers don't like their program. End of story....

I completely agree, however, in the very first post, Seth did say:

[ QUOTE ]
As you have probably guessed, we have been monitoring the threads at JetCareers regarding the program and I've been given the opportunity to address the questions and concerns about the program. Two ground rules about any submissions or threads, I will not answer personal attacks on anyone at the program and I will not answer any questions about the recently settled lawsuit. Other than that everything is fair game.

With that in mind, feel free to ask me anything and I will answer (or debate) to the best of my ability.

[/ QUOTE ]

The very least he could do is acknowledge the questions, even if it is just to say that he can not answer it. Currently he has not lived up to his word.
