oh yeah, i know their costs are outrageous.. and not to sound like a jerk, but I'm not the one paying for it. Uncle Sam would foot the bill for me on this, fortunately enough for me. So cost really isn't a concern. And I know they put out typically trained pilots, nothing golden about a riddle grad.
I guess what I'm asking is do airlines or cargo lines, 135s or fractionals look down on a Riddle grad? I'm certainly not the one to be snooty after graduating from a school like that, and I don't want people to think that since i'd be a riddle student that i'd be someone who thinks im better than i am.. you know?
