"World history degree and waist an entire aircraft full of people in the everglades over a light bulb on the landing gear status panel."

I don't know the educational backgrounds of the two crewmembers on that flight (do you?) But, I'd like to suggest, as an ERAU aero studies grad, that a world history grad can make as good of an airline pilot as a Riddle aero studies grad. Not sure of your background, but I've personally seen first hand that what your degree is in doesn't really matter.
