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.
Agree to Disagree. Its funny you mention the American Eagle thing cause i know ALOT of my fellow 05/06 grads who are working for them right now. I dont know where all this hatred for riddle comes from but it may be something that is carried over from the olden days. I dont see how an ERAU grad is any different than a UND, Purdue, or anybody else. I try to not get involved in these discussions cause they are ridiculous.
Back TO THE TOPIC..... this is an interesting idea. So is the mesaba thing with und that the guy above mentioned. You wonder whats in it for AT or Mesaba? Low Pay? If the majors start snatching these young guys too....are we setting ourself up for CFI shortage? I know its starting to seem that way out here in the midwest where my flight school is located!
