The MAJORITY of ERAU students are NOT undergraduate aerospace science flight training students - which many like to "harp about." Most students are in engineering, aerospace management and other majors taught at military bases and airports all over the world. Many of these students are in their late twenties and early thirties, have thousands of hours of flight time and are often airline chief pilots or highly experienced military pilots seeking advance degrees.
One may be your Captain, Sim Instructor, Check pilot or Chief Pilot when you are hired by an airline.
I was only referring to how most Riddle students think their school is better than any other university that has an aerospace program. I am not bashing anyone that pursues a degree. I feel that you must get a degree to make it anywhere in life, so I commend all Riddle students for doing that;however, I do not like the mentality of most of the students and alumni. The HR representative that came to my university from American Eagle to sell us on their internship said that they rarely accept a Riddle intern because most of them come in to the interview thinking it is theirs just because they are a Riddle student. I was merely poking fun at the arrogance of the majority of Riddle students I have come into contact with.
