Go ahead, say I think I'm God because I went to UND. You guys a pathetic and don't know how to debate a single thing.
OK tpersuit, I think you’re getting a little too worked up. You’re starting to make a lot of mistakes while writing your postings.
Nobody said that UND or Riddle does do a fine job educating but the fact that it’s overrated (you can get the same education elsewhere) and overpriced (come on look at the loans) and creates a lot of overconfident pilots (yes GA can produce some as well but there just seems to be more coming out of these schools), is indisputable. Yes UND and Riddle students do have to take more classes than a GA grad but does this make him or her a better aviator? No! It’s what’s inside the person that makes him or her a better aviator.
Tpersuit, 141 or GA what does it really matter. I think the smarter pilot is the one who spent very little money, actually learn the material and has a degree in something else other than aviation. Why do I say this? Simple, he’s as marketable as any UND or Riddle pilot is in the 121 world and he’s more marketable outside of the aviation world because of his non-aviation degree plus he doesn't have those loans weighting him down.
When it comes down to it I don’t care who is sitting next to me or where he got his education from. Just be humble, not arrogant, confident, eager to learn, calm, collected, aware and most of all let’s have fun.
BTW, if you want tough let’s talk about the Air Force Academy or Annapolis. UND, Riddle or any other aviation institution can’t hold a candle to those schools.
