"The truth about Gulfstream is that it works."

Of course it works, depending on what your defination of what "works" is. To me, it works cause these guys get on at Pinnacle with super low time after paying for a right seat job. It's them paying Gstream to be a required crewmember that is wrong. How can you argue that it's good for the profession for guys to be willing to buy a job? The answer is that it's NOT good for the profession, but it's good for the PFJer.

I think it's interesting to look at the backgrounds of the proponents of PFJ vs those who don't like it. Those of us who don't like it have been in the industry for a while and understand the need for unions and sticking together for the good of the profession...the good of the career. Those who think PFJ is okay are new guys who just see it as another way to break into the field. They are only thinking of themselves and not the career as a whole. I don't really blame them, either, cause I remember when I was the same way......
