So I guess If you would take away, Art, literature, Math, Music and English and history and just let me take the classes I like, I would be in a real colege in a hartbeat. But If I really suck at the above mentioned subjects, I don't think that it makes me a worse of a pilot then someone that knows something about literature and History.
Bottom line I think you should be judged by skills required in your proffession and not by some useless Junk that you flunked in High School and that you neve ever need in the real world. And Just to set the record straight, I am a furloghed FO from XJET, been there a year and a half. I jsut want a degree to put on my resume and was seeking advise. I didn't say I was actually getting one of those scam degrees. And as far as GoJet I was gonna go there for about a year, untill XJET recalls, since they don't require you to resign seniority.
Are you seriously defending the stance that an education isn't important - with THIS post?
This just pulls down the profession. Even this post reads like a 4th grader wrote it.
Here, let me go get my wife and family right before their trip and tell them that their lives will be in the hands of the guy who wrote this post, this way.
"Bon voyage, honey"
NOT!!!
Anybody can pump a yoke, buddy. Its called "professional" pilot. You ought to try to convey yourself in that light if you view yourself as one.
Also, if you want a degree on your resume, get a real degree. Otherwise, your cheating yourself and everyone who hires you on a false pretense. Its called Karma. Eventually, you'll get burned.
