Thanks for the welcome!
Have you noticed what this surreal fellow is saying about one of your advertisers?
Have you investigated as to whether or not his accusations are true. Is one of your advertisers really attempting to mislead people or is this guy jumping to conclusions?
It appears to me that he made no effort to ascertain the facts but instead immediately launched into attack mode.
It appears a discrepancy existed between a print ad and a web page, as to whether or not the school was VA approved. Hardly a reason to believe someone was being mislead.
Seems to me this guy jumped to a conclusion without spending much time trying to figure out what was going on.
Pretty sure if you looked through his posts you'd find a clear history of building up Falcon while tearing down ATP.
Is this the type of behavior you'd like to see from everyone here?
I also have to wonder why an airline pilot with no pony in the race would be crosschecking ATPs print ads to their website within days of the add hitting.
I'm wondering if this type of behavior is acceptable here? Is it cool for me to enter the forums of other schools and make similar accusations?
He's also probably a little miffed that they're doing this while union pilots are out of work at the same airline. You'd think the Teamsters would break a few kneecaps or something, I think thats what they do.![]()

That surreal fellow is probably wondering why he is out of a paying job while guys at the airline across the state line are stroking checks for $25k to do what he did for 50% of the pay. Just sayin.
35% actually, or if you consider that he was close to year 2 pay 29%.

Nevertheless, I'm very surprised the IBT is sitting idle. But, then again, it is the IBT. The catch-all union representing many industries. Who are we to think that they would understand what is going on?
What it boils down to is how would you feel if someone with no experience was willing to pay the company you work for $25,000 to do your job for free?
If you don't have a problem with that then this discussion wont mean anything to you.
Maybe next time don't take the time to post.That's it? I take the time to register and come on here to ask a simple question and I get rhetoric and a dismissal? I had already read that drivel ten times before I asked my question, and if you don't mind I will decide what is meaningful for myself.
I was flying when Gulfstream started doing whatever it is that offends you so, a LOT of airlines were doing the same thing. A lot of senior guys at Comair and lots of other airlines started out the same way.
The seats that are filled by "interns" or whatever they are called never were available to the GIA line pilots. You are comparing apples and oranges. What GIA does would never fly at a regular airline, so there is no need for all this angst.
Why would you care if some guy wants to pay money to get some flight time in his logbook? How does that hurt any one? Like all of us here, I have spent thousands of dollars buying time in various airplanes.

Well, from what I've been reading, there isn't anything the IBT CAN do. Apparently GIA/GTA isn't doing anything that is contrary to the terms. I can't believe this was agreed to in the first place, but looking at the past, I can't imagine GIA would have agreed to anything less -- GTA is part of their bottom line and the "intereship" is a marketing tool. This is why the "cure" comes from the other part of the equation: the students. They are the ones dropping $30k each and GTA is more than glad to take it. The way GIA's plan seems to be designed is that NOBODY will be recalled until they put more planes on the line, or people stop paying GTA to sit in the right seat.
Maybe next time don't take the time to post.

I hope you remember to keep switching your accounts. It would be embarrassing if you responded to your own post moleman.Snappy comeback. You really don't have anything rational to add do you? I guess this forum provides these cute little emoticons for people who can't really say anything that makes sense or is defensible.
Maybe next time you just use the cute pictures.
You are reacting to someone's attempt at blurring the line between paying for a job and paying for training.
THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED.LOL - This just keeps getting better.
As I have already said, the issues have been resolved and ATP is now offering honest VA Approved 141 courses, as opposed to the situation(s) that arose many months ago.
Kind of like wondering why a user would troll around look at a particular users posts when he has no pony in the race.![]()
If you have been to the other schools and can offer up facts with experiences then go ahead and post. If the only reason you are posting is to 'make accusations' then do everyone a favor and and refrain from it.
It appears to me that you have no idea what goes into accepting advertisers here at JC. It's not like someone throws Doug some dough and they are in. It is much more in-depth than that.
THE ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED.
Please provide your proof that ATP was misleading and being dishonest.
Please describe exactly what the issue was. You keep saying there was an issue and it was resolved, but fail to explain what exactly ATP was doing to mislead veterans.
What exactly was the situation?
wait a second....gulfstream airlines is union?
Fair enough.
I'd love to take a look at that CBA though. Especially the scope section.
When someone makes accusations about one of your advertisers misleading potential students doesn't jetcareers have some responsibility to determine if the accusations are true?
Wow... what world are you living in?
If the accusations turn out to be false and baseless then perhaps there should be some ramifications for the poster. In this case the poster has demonstrated a clear historical bias against the advertiser and for a competitor.
You'd be the guy who would call the FAA if you saw me taxing just a little faster than a "brisk walk" in hopes that I'd get violated wouldnt you now.
I've been lurking here long enough to know. I have respect for all you guys and gals and for the work that you do. However I think the discourse in this section has been allowed to deteriorate to a level that renders it useless.
Too many big words renders this post utterly useless.
It is apparent to me that a significant portion of the negative posts toward ATP come from folks that have an interest in ATP being perceived negatively.(i.e. people working for FBOs).
No kidding? Negative posts toward ATP come from people who have a negative perception of ATP. That's deep.
I can help clean it up or continue with the scorched earth, don't make no nevermind to me. Just let me know which way to go.
