MERGED: Free Spirit Airlines again...got a spare $147,000 plus?
Hahahahahaha, this is truly priceless. The photo below makes me think of what FBN would be like on the ramp at Oxford where he instructs.
j3, turboprop dreamer.

I would suspect a lot of the regular posters here who claim GA stardom to the airlines , are sitting at home unemployed sending out resumes & picking up dole cheques.
What are they called again - yes "GALUPs" I think
Badluck guys the "Hollywood" career didn't happen, might be time to take a look in mirror , stop chasing the loss & get a job/qual/skill that is in demand & actually pays.
To many believe the Glossy Brochures of the big flying school/ aviation degree factories telling people their three year course will qualify you to be a "Maritime Rescue Pilot" and "Regional Airline First Officer" just blatantly false information. At most 50% complete the aviation degrees -many realize they have been sold a pup. Of the less than 50% who complete the degree/CPL the majority will never obtain one hour of paid flying work.
To many here demonstrate the bitterness that this reality creates - keep trying to live the dream, when the mirage disappeared a long time ago.
Realise your loss , accept your loss, stop blaming others for perceived failures, and I guarantee two years down the track you will by buying me beers when you are in town.

Flyboat North
Hi Flyboat North,
You can offer me a $100 bet if you like.......
Give me an email address and I can send you a copy of my licence endorsement page.
But when you lose......be a man......and pay me my money.
And then stop trying to drag other people down into your murky world.
Eternity.

I've actually worked with Eternity a long time ago and have followed his progress since our China days through our network of friends. And I can attest that what he has written about his progress is 100% correct so Flyboat North, be prepared to pay up your $100 bet.
Flyboat North, you come across as being of those who are bitter and twisted probably because you were shunned by GA and could never make that first break? If that's the case, then just because you never made it, doesn't mean others didn't. Keep eating those sour grapes mate.

To many believe
To many here demonstrate
And perhaps you would have got that airline job you missed and which causes you so much anger, jealousy and bitterness.
Looks like Eternity (from GA) got it instead. That's just to (sic) bad.

More than happy to take the bet, which is BTW, that you prove all elements of your claimed CV
1. You commenced instructing in 2007
2. You then progressed to C210s and 402s "out bush"
3. You then progressed to multi-crew turboprop operations
4. You began flying a "Jet" in late 2011 and have continued that for 2.5 years
5. You currently have an interview from overseas airline to fly an even "bigger one"
I think it is a boy wonder GA History, that is fabricated.
So send me an email, we can meet, and I will have a look at your logbooks, copies of CASA licences etc, perhaps even a copy of a payslip or two.
Gee the power of anonymous bulletin board posters "vouching" below for Et , just so persuasive. The evidence that you all present as anonymous bulletin board poster's would no doubt persuade the highest court in the land.
Be enough of man to actually go through with this.

And I hope you'll be enough of a man to make a public apology on YouTube when Eternity proves you wrong. And how about you do the same too, mate and show Eternity your licenses and logbooks? I reckon that's fair.
So the two guys with GA fantasyland CVs , big note , do a little chest beating then at the end of the day - run away from the bet.
What a surprise.
What a surprise.
Yep - you guessed it, Virgin are once again hiring GA guys on the hold file.

Somehow doubt that either of them is either employed in piston GA, the sound more like GALLUPS to me
Sure there must be magnificent opportunities with Virgin such magical management , losing $500 million in five years.
Best fleet management plan in Australia - how many different types do they operate now ?
They can just see things that others can't see , for example the brilliant decision to pay $60 mill for 60% of a company that has lost $250 million since inception - yes we are talking about Tiger.
Hold file been there for what 2.5 years - yes the future is just so bright for the GA guys you have to wear shades

I know of a fair few GA guys who have made it into the airlines just fine.
Example. Mate of min over the course of 5 years went from CPL training, Flying out of broome, to a job in Darwin, flew there for 2 years on singles, twins and turbines into a job with Virgin. 5 years. The guys 27
Another who went from flying on stations, to a remote Ga company, into town flying conquests and now over seas with AirNZ. again, 5 years.
FBN, pull your head out of your arse, the GA route is still a viable, and honestly, best way to get into the airlines in terms of overall experience. Hell the stories, experiences and good times you'll have are amazing.
Don't get any of that with a cadetship...

AN: Goodluck to people who did that - but you are talking about pre-GFC it is a different world today, and there are hundreds of high qual piston pilots who can't progress to the regionals, and likewise hundreds of high qual regional pilots who have zero chance of a jet job in Aust
Read the Virgin thread people seem to celebrating the hiring of ten people in a year - bizarre
Jetstar Cadetship: will be back early next year , they can't have it open while they are making QF pilots redundant
QF Redundancies: Word has it that riots will erupt in Sydney and Melbourne , the community is outraged that the very heart and soul and spirit of Australia - our Qantas pilots who we are just all so very proud of are being made redundant. In fact communities are taking up collections , and taxpayers/govt appear to be in agreement that we are willing to subsidise the QF pilot wage bill, to ensure we can keep them all employed and we believe they should be retained in Long Haul flying around 500 to 600 hours a year and paid $350 to $450K as a LH captain.

FBN is a troll and genuinely has no idea. I doubt he would ever be a pilot as he seems to have a distaste of real aviation and only seems to want to be a systems manager. Air France anyone?
All this incitement to rage. All this extraordinary pettiness.
It seems so far far away from the peaceful progression
along a career path where you knew that as you clocked up
the hours and experience in GA that if you wanted airlines
you had a fair chance. And if not, then a life somewhere
satisfying in GA was a certainty.
Charter operators such as Ossie Osgood and Doug Muir,
nobody got a gig who did not possess a degree of maturity
and sufficient interest in the origins in Australia , and abroad,
of flight from the pioneers to the great names of the thirties
and forties. In other words, you had read a bit. You were respectful.
You knew your place. And you bad-mouthed no one.
The reference you came away with meant something.
How did your mate go getting into the circus doing the human
cannon ball stunt?
Fat chance he had. We told him he was not of the calibre
they wanted.
(Thank you Peter B from Tyabb for that one.)
