Is this one guy, or the 70, 100, 150 pilots at Gulfstream really impacting an industry of tens of thousands of aviators?
Gulfstream have an impeccable safety record and passengers clearly are blissfully unaware of what's going on in the cockpit, but for cheap fares probably don't care.

That's what I tried to point out in another thread.

Personally, I see a guy who wants to fly aircraft for an airline. He thinks this is his quickest route to his ultimate career goals, just like I think building (multi) time at somewhere like Skymates, and perhaps being a CFI at my flight school, are mine.

Well, it's his *attitude* that is really really shocking:

Plus i get to the majors MUCH faster then anyone else with my time. While u are sitting around instructing to get 1000 and 1 before any regional airline will look at u. Then when u get that regional job ur upgrade is gonna be a minimum of 3yrs. Me on the other hand upgrade right at 1500TT and start building turbine PIC while u are sitting on ur ass at a regional getting SIC. I get PIC time for another 2 years then get to go right into the majors. Now i am sitting at a mojor and u will still be sitting at the regional not even upgraded yet. Also i am gaining turbine multi and 121 experience before u even think about airlines. Oh yah then i will have my seniority number at a major before u will. Now u get into the majors and they layoff people. Well now u are laidoff and i am still with the company because i got there quicker.

Sadly, he'll probably get hired at Airtran much before we'll ever do.
This guy is gonna make a terrible captain to fly with one day. I hope I don't have to share the cockpit with him.
