Many future children of the magenta line are sucking the lives out of their families finances… and what for… instant gratification. How self serving can one be?
No mature self-respecting human being on this planet would subscribe to any of these programs.
Moderatorpprun claims a friend is complaining that .....
He said its not only MSD pilots fail but also pilots from CAE, Eagle jet and Rishworth fail. He also added if the standards of Lion Air sim sessions were just way to high.
Perhaps your friends with circa 250 hours of flight time are unable to perform to standards? Four fundamentals of flight??? Land in the touchdown zone on the centerline? V1 cuts… etc? Bottom line Moderatorpprun, they are not ready for demands required to fly a high performance aircraft.
That said Moderatorpprun, your mates don't have the right to blame TREs for poor performance.
I have no objection to a family investing in a child’s dream. Parents should instill the values in their children so they can help their children provide a better life, live up to their potential, and appreciate the goals achieved in life.
I do find objection to anyone who pay these so-called reputable training centers, money so they can sit in the right seat of a shiny jet and log time. Log time for what… sitting there watching the scenery pass by. Maybe get a landing or two during their 250 hours of occupying the right seat. How can one justify calling it logable flight time? Why... because $25,000 plus the cost of a type rating was paid? How can “Pay to Play pilot”, with a bit of conscience, sit at the same table with first officer who paid their dues and earned their position?
Ladies and Gentlemen… these miscreants are aiding and abetting in the decline in respect, and of terms of our profession. By aiding and abetting in the decline of our profession they are also feeding airlines additional fodder for the justification of the new generation pilot, the “Pay to Play Pilot”. Shame on these miscreants… shame on the parents who are willing to support their children beyond their CPLs… shame on the flight schools who hawking these disillusioned people and shame on the airlines that endorse and support such programs.
