Top Three Benefits:

Keeps You Focused - The Internet is distracting.  One minute you are looking for an airline Web site, and the next minute you find yourself linked to the Web site of a boat maker.  We keep it simple and structured, so you can find what you need with no flashing banners and annoying, blinking, spinning artwork or pop-up advertising.

Saves Time and Money - The Internet is an amazing tool, and much information is "free" if your time is of little value.  We monitor the industry for relevant information and deliver it to you effectively and at a very low cost.

Better Attitude - FLTops.com is an optimistic place and will keep you motivated. Attitude is everything in this business;  just ask any airline pilot recruiter.  Our industry occasionally "takes a bath", and we all know it.  Ride through any rough spots or hard times with quality information that keeps you upbeat and enthusiastic.  Click to join.

FLTops.com is not affiliated with any airline, union, training school, or other supplier.  We sell our sponsors links on our site, because it's a good way to make money, and it helps keep the cost of FLTops.com membership low.  Be sure to mention FLTops.com when you contact our sponsors to discuss their products or services.

We promise to avoid biased, promotional articles about any of our sponsors.  They can tell their own story on their own Web site.    We sell our sponsors links, not influence, and that's the way our editors and writers like it.  You will like it, too.

Let's face it, we all have something to sell, and FLTops.com is no different than any other company.  We commit to keeping it honest and low on hype.  We think you'll enjoy the scope and flavor of our content, and we promise to always listen if you have a gripe.
