And the 3rd type: chooses to work for peanuts and pay for training

And pilots complain they dont make enough money....don't know of anyone in average circles that can afford a nanny. Obviously some people are overpaid.

Like the saying goes, right after the big expansion comes the big contraction

Take a look what people are making outside of being a pro pilot. Take a look at any experienced tradesperson and they are all making about 80,000 per year. Unfortunatly 40,000 per year really isnt a whole lot of money anymore. Try and get a mortgage with that with house prices the way they are now a...

actually the D model can be flown single pilot and a few operators do run them that way on occaision

What joke, pretty low pay for being in one of the most volotile places on earth...be lucky to come out alive.

funny thing is these guys always get ahead for some reason and get hired on by the majors long before anybody else....go figure!!

If your name ain't in the log book, your on time off.

after years of doing things right, they now want to go broke

when you out and low ball contracts and not cover your costs thats what happens........you go tits up sooner or later. The landscape is riddled with those types of operators, here today, gone tommorrow. You'd figure that these outfits, courier or medevac would ensure they contract out to reputable c...

Now here's the really sad part; judging from comments on this forum justifying bonds up front: If another big jet startup operation comes along and its terms are for pilots to put up a wad of cash for training there will be a ton of applicants banging at the door with money in hand. And when it fold...

they hire guys direct on the 350 and yes training bonds or at least they did at one time, also for recurrent.

If you went to the bank and got a loan for that 30000 then it's your baby and you can scream all you want...on deaf ears!

Yes I'm am riding my high horse. I've never paid a job in my life nor do I ever intend to. And I've never worked for sh#t wages either. I'll get out of the industry before that happens. If everyone else took that stance we wouldn't be where we are today. But wave an airplane before most pilots and t...

If pilots had any sense of dignity,ethics, and self worth they wouldn't have bought a job at Jetsgo. Unfortunately there are always desperate people out there who will do anything to get flying job or to try and get ahead. Now it's bit them hard in the ass. If Jetsgo really wanted to have set up sho...

Hey, if thats true then all those guys at Jetsgo are going to be Air Canada employees. I'll bet the resume intake there just went through the roof.

Whats with all the negativity towards Jetsgo? Calling them unsafe? I doubt it. Sure they had a few incidences, who doesn't? I fly with them a lot to get around and feel very comfortable doing so. Heck when West Jet started they had a lot of screw ups going on, a whole lot more than what's going on a...
