Gulfstream Academy Question

We have actually, he was at Pinnacle for a while. He said he felt like a complete tool once he had paid down his money and realized what kind of a gig his was. My understanding was that his father was an ex-Eastern guy and had gotten screwed over by scabs, and felt like PFTing (once he realized what he had done) was nearly the same thing. He, like so many guys, thought Gulfstream sounded like a sweet deal and signed on the dotted line only later to realize the mistake he had made.

He was later let go from Pinnacle because he questioned a captain about a procedure he did that he believed compromised safety while he was still on probation.
 
Sorry, I thought I was clear with it but I obviously wasn't. My mistake.

He felt like a tool because his father lost his job because of what happened at Eastern Airlines. When the Eastern guys struck, scabs came into fly the work. The basic premise under what I was saying was dishonesty and stealing another mans work. Scabbing and PFTing do the same thing, steal the job from someone who has earned said job. He had the realization that he was doing the same thing to other people that legitly built their time as those that scabbed his fathers work, destroying the collective bargining process and stealing work away from someone else who has paid their dues.

You mean like most of Continental's upper seniority numbers currently?
 
Ahh, scabbing. The moral equivalent of picking up on a soldier's lonely wife while he's away at war.
 
From what I have been told, after a year they put you right back out into the street. Have fun with that SIC time.

Pinnacle had 5 accidents with Gulfstream Academy at the controls, including that most recent one with their RJ crashing.

lol, they do pay you though, you'll get $2,000 back. Not bad for a year's work.
