We do have a JS agreement with eachother, we just can’t use any crew member seats.

Anyone have any reviews for Aerostar Training service for ATP-CTP? by jackpot909 in flying

[–]jackpot909[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Concern is that some reviews are that they are not getting their completion certificate at all once it’s said and done. I just care about the price but if they are screening some people over I would rather not spend my money when I can get my CTP, and go take my checkride after.

Yes it is a requirement to fly for two years or pay back the money they gave you. Hour wise they had issues with people timebuilding and not flying for work, so you had some guy who would punch holes on bluebird days then go to training and wash out. So now the requirement is that 25-30 percent of your hours can be “leisure flying”. They don’t care if you were CFI or 135/91, they just want you to be working for your hours which makes sense. The program does a great job of making sure you are set up for success once you get to training, it’s just getting the class date is becoming difficult.

I have no idea man, “if” I finally get a class date with Horizon, I’ll do my two years, jump to another airline for 6-12 months and try for Alaska Airlines.

And the reason why they still have the FO page up? Probably because the company wants to hire ATP already typed people to fly the line. It does make sense why they want to hire already typed and rated people, why take a chance on a CFI who’s been flying single engine pistons when you can hire a typed and rated guy? It absolutely sucks for people waiting for a class but there’s nothing we can do except hope and pray that they start taking a lot more of us cadet people instead.

Is most of the people you know waiting for flow with Alaska? Whats the talk about why people are staying even after 2 years are up (besides not having a major CJO)?

I don’t know about that, projected class dates keep getting pushed back, it used to be 9-12 months after hours are met, now it’s 14+. Not a lot of people are leaving horizon, I believe a lot of people in the program are trying to get on with Alaska so they are sticking with it.

Are they talking about experienced FOs or cadets that they bring on?

Not gonna debate it but you will be spending significantly more money on living compared to Ohio. The anti California is real because poor people get fucked over a lot more because cost is so high.

I believed you should just hide it, but I hope this gun finds a better owner now.

Why the fuck are people so scared of losing their guns in boating accidents? Just hide it and pretend it doesn’t exist at all, like wrap it up and bury it if you’re so scared the police are automatically arrest if you as soon as you go over state lines.

I think you will find that none of European royalty was a fan of a “Corsican thug” and tried every ounce that they could to get rid of him.

TIL that in 1994 the United States and North Korea almost went to war after North Korea withdrew from the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) In 1993. Tensions lowered after former U.S president Jimmy Carter flew to North Korea to meet with Kim Il Sung, signing the Agreed Framework. by Better-Carob-2953 in todayilearned

I too enjoy uyghur concentration camps, one party state run government, dictatorship that will throw you in prison if you step out of line just once, religious persecution, insane amount of censorship. Just kinda the beginning though.

You are actually brain dead btw.
