I remember when I was in High School, I went to a seminar for Riddle and they darn near had my father and I convinced if I didn't go to Riddle I'd never become an airline pilot. Thank god I woke up from that so called fact.
Good for you. Remember that these schools are businesses too, and they need customers. (What does a Riddle education go for these days?) $100,000 - $150,000??? How about UND?
Here is what gets you an airline job.
Flight time experience, wisdom, a well rounded education, great personality, persistence, good decision making skills, psychological stability, and a little humility. And you can do this without knowing anyone at an airline.
