there is other ways to get to into the career but when you consider that 25% of all current airline pilots graduated from embry-riddle thats hard to argue with. Think about that 25% out of all the littel mom and pop FBO's, aviation colleges, and fast track programs in the country? All of you knock it but how many of you have been here. Does your FBO offer internships to almost every regional airline and most of the majors? Im not saying UND doesnt because UND is a great college too but its just a littel to far north and freezing for me. Just some thoughts.
