The fleet is old, and getting older.
- Under funded
- Training Department still stuck in the 1950's
- After 9 years you will have maybe 2,500 hours
During slow times, that is below most airline application minimums
- They teach you to fly in a manner and mind set that is not
compattable with airline operations.
- There is a very real chance in this day that you will see action
and be shot at or know you had to shoot at someone. This has
long term personal consequences, no matter who you are.

-Oh yes, there's no life like it
To answer
-Yes but there are new aircraft here and new aircraft coming
-Yes but we do quite well with the money we are given
-Horse****! Some of the best flight training in the world Unless you think flying at 250 AGL at 420kts is stuck in the 1950's.
-Yaa! 2500hrs of some of the best flying around rather than 2500hrs of ZZzzzzzz at FL390 straight and level ......Zzzzzz
-So what! Stay in and get another 2500hrs of the best flying around.
-Horse****!
-Horse****! My only personnel consequence is that I cannot send more of those little turds to meet their maker!

Are there copious amounts of alcohol and drugs?
Where the hell did that question come from? If you do drugs don't bother applying we do not want you.
