Jet U ad in the Aug. 07 Flying

I'm pretty much old school...and maybe way behind the times...but after checking out those Myspace deals I know one thing for certain....if those guys don't get their a@@ kicked in the pilot briefing room, they are certain to get laughed out of town.


Grow up, become a man, become a professional, and leave the kid stuff in junior high.
 
Briefing room? What's that?


Even in the two years I've been in the right seat the mentality of new hires has changed. I can only imagine what it looks like from somebody with 10 or 20 years of seniority.

Plane and Pilot is MUCH worse than Flying. At least in Flying it was obvious that the ad was, infact, and ad. In P&P they've started doing these 'profiles' of different academies (gulfstream had one recently) and the 'author' (none was listed IIRC) is a little less than objective. Look it up for yourself, these articles are towards the back when they do them.

It's a dispicable form of advertisement. They should have at least put a disclaimer that read along the lines of "GTA is a long time advertising client of P&P and this article was provided to us by GTA"


-Plus the literary quality of P&P has totally tanked in the past few years.
 
CRJ 200/700/900? Uh, PCL doesn't HAVE 700s. Last I checked that's where they were sending these guys. I also hate to inform them that .84 isn't cruise speed..... You're burning a LOT of gas going that fast, not to mention it'll take you 8 years to hit that speed after leveling off.

I definitely don't agree with either JetU or Gulfstream. But I think it is incredibly immature to post pics of people from their myspace and laugh at them.

Also, maybe I didn't look at their myspace profiles close enough, but I didn't exactly see any reference to them attending either Gulfstream of JetU. Again, I just thought this was different site than angrypilots.com over at flightinfo.

:yeahthat:
 
I actually don't blame Flying for running that ad. It's business. That's all money in the bank. I can't even imagine how much it cost to place that....:rolleyes:
 
I don't get the myspace thing either. Anyone over the age of say, 23 shouldn't be on myspace nor should watch any 'reality television' on MTV. JMHO! ;)

Come on Max, people have been outed here before.......If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck......it's probably a duck.


Be careful you don't fall of your soapbox... ;)
 
I don't blame Flying for running the ad. They're in the business of making money, and selling ads is how they do it.

I blame JetU for creating such a misleading ad.
