Thank You!!! The real conversation is why would anyone right now want to learn to fly and spend the money for a $25k job. Now where you decide to go to school for this dying profession is another topic. If you are reading this and thinking of being a pilot. Go to any school and get a non aviation degree and get your license and a local airport. Going to UND or Riddle will give you no advantage when you apply for your first 121 or 135. When airlines start compensating pilots what they should be making, then I could justify wanting to go to Riddle. For the wages pilots make now, I wouldn't drop one dime at those expensive schools.
