This statement in the article needs some clarification:

"Gulfstream and its sister company, Gulfstream Training Academy, offer pilots commercial experience as part of a $29,900 training program. Within as little as months, a person with limited or no flying experience can work at "an actual airline flying real flights for Continental Connection," the academy's website says."

If I read this correctly, Gulfstream has taken crew pay to a new level: You pay us and you can fly our commercial aircraft in return for some training. Yikes!

I am only a SLF, and now an ex-Contintental Connection SLF
