American Airlines & American Eagle are proud to sponsor the Dallas/Fort Worth Focus on the Future sessions for students and parents and a Regional Airline Pilot Job Fair for qualified pilots. All CFIs are invited. As part of their goal to offer additional opportunities for students seeking a career as a pilot, American Airlines and American Eagle are providing two free round-trip tickets for a student and parent to visit a college or university offering professional pilot degrees.
Ya once mommy or daddy see's they're gonna be flipping a 200K bill so little Timmy Jr can make 21K a year I bet they wont be to happy anymore...
Then there gonna tell all the kids and parents how its only gonna take a year or two before they go to mainline blah blah... 2007 all over again.. wash repeat.. Ask all those 2007 hire FOs where they are now, what seat their in, and how much they're making 6 years later

Oh and that professional pilot degree is really gonna help you a lot when your on furlough looking for work... I got an aviation degree back in 99', its basically worthless, because everyday I hear about another person with no college getting interviews at airline X... while me and my college degree drink beer.
