Be Aware

for those of you thinking of a pilot job here
think it twice, well here your update
incoming foreign pilots once landed are not received by anybody
youll have to find your way out by yourself
lucky you if you see the guy who drives the van to pick you up
if he was notified,...............then................................ ....
hang on.............ok
youll be sleeping (................if you can) in a double bedroom
with another pilot............!!!!!
for the entire ground school, by the way is 6 weeks
no refrigerator, no closset, ................get the picture
sound's good enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!
youll have to pay your meals during all this time
no laundry included
the only thing is that you have internet, but no WiFi
so you will have to tose the coin to see who gets to chat the 2 first hours
with the family &/or wife
the hotel isnt the marriot or the hilton
its a road hotel like the red roof inn in U.S.A.

my friends, all of this for $1500 basic salary................
humm, depending on each case or necesity..............well
in panama an engineer makes less than $1000 so
evryone else is below that mark
you on the other hand with $1500 as f/o will be located
in a good place in the social scale
panama also is not that splendor youll see in the brochure or internet
7 or 8 main roads and almost all the time collapsed with stupid traffic
because no one whants to pay the dollar and a half to get into what they call
the corridor..........which is only what .................?
not more in any sector than 15 Km's...............give me a break

if you already did or are in the process of making
the joke of selection process................
please give yourslef the pleasure to ask EVRYTHING to those nerds

ohh and by the way, youll have to pay for your uniforms!!!!
cause the union of loser's pilot's they have there accepted money in
the salary instead of a uniform every year...........
even the stripes & wings youll have to buy.........
well done union....................

so dont be fooled by brand new NG's & 19O's.............its almost all
B.S.

godspeed
