I wouldn't trust a 300 hour ERAU guy to sit the right way on a toilet seat! GO SIOUX!!!
Seriously though, I had more than 300 hours when i graduated. I sure hope these morons aren't so blinded by their desire to fly something that burns jet A and has lots of people in the back that they are skipping out of school before finishing a degree. That would definitely be one step forward and two steps waaaay back.
