This is crazy. I've met several pilots from Riddle, NDU, and other aviation colleges and were they good pilots? Yes for the most part. However I've also met more pilots from ATP, Aerosim,and other professional programs, were they good pilots? Mostly yes! Haven't met any small FBO commercial guys so can't speak to that route. There are going to be good and bad no matter what system you send ppl through. It's arrogant to think that just bc you went through UND you are better at flying an airplane than somebody who has a degree in something else. For the record, I've never met a person who was thrilled they got an aviation degree, none of them have had the mins for ATP due to getting next to no multi time or next to zero XC, that's just not getting your money's worth in my humble opinion...
