Still a steal of a deal. Pvt, Inst, Comm-ME. That’s 3 check rides and 250 hrs total, fly a Beech 1900 and get paid ($8/hr). Get to 500 total and interview for full time Gulfstream FO or go to a regional like Pinnacle.
Moving on

Yeah, ASA was for everyone. didn’t realize gulfstream was on for a select few. Didn’t realize that had both $18 FO’s, and $8 that paid for the training.
was gulfstream 0 to hero, or did you have to come in with a cmel?
cause if it was 0 to hero, I agree, that’s a good deal. Wether it’s right or not is a different story. But 0-500 with the last 250 in a beech 1900 for 30k with a $2000 rebate in wages is a good deal on paper.

I know almost everyone in the video. All have gone on to fantastic careers with legacy airlines. Despite everyone here and on Flightinfo twenty years ago telling us PFT was practically as bad as scabbing and we’d all be blacklisted. 
To go from zero to FO was about $30k in total. They had their own affiliated flight school where you could do all of your ratings for about $15k, then it was another $15k for the PFT program.
P.S. Yes, Swanson (the dad) was a SCAB. And an unrepentant one at that. His kids were good guys, though.

PFT, LOL.
i remember walking out of a place in 2005 which was trying to get a contract hauling plane loads of stuff from A to B in a Navajo. The numbers didn’t work out. So they asked me and another dude if we would be willing to pay $30/hr flying this drech to build multi time.

People coming up right now might fully well be aware of how fortunate their timing is, but I don’t think they can truly grasp what it was like not-that-many-years ago.

HIRED!
Looking at the GA production numbers, I think in the not too distant future the industry will go back to something like couple hundred hrs in a piston + a bunch of sim and jumpseat - congrats, you're a FO
Someone's gonna have to pay for that too, and until the shortage gets really short, doubt it'll be the airlines.

Gulfstream used to be zero to hero. It went away after their fatal midair accident that killed an enrollee and his wife and daughter.

I don't have a CFI cert. But I sure could use one when I help Captains with the iPad, and other changing things.

You’re going to need one after you upgrade and you start commuting to Miami……

I think the day that MPL is well developed, there will be large specialized flight schools with career instructors (who don't want to go to the airlines) that will pump out pilots to the major airlines.

You misspelled “retired captain who doesn’t know what to do other than fly.”

It’s good, though. It will make you look at stuff somewhat differently, which is always a good, open-minded, positive thing.

Very very true. I can appreciate that. Looking forward to that.
