I have a degree in Civil engineering from USAFA and an MBA from FSU...the overwhelming majority of ex-military pilots have 4 year degrees from top tier national universities. Many, like me, have post graduate degrees. To say that the industry is dominated by ex-mil w/ basket weaving degrees demonstrates your lack of intelligence and jealousy!

To dovetail to another subject, lets discuss backup plans. I am concerned that F/Os w/ aviation degrees from ERAU do not have the education to survive a prolonged strike. What the hell are you going to do if you are furloughed?? scab??

My education/background enables me to earn a very good wage building houses/townhomes--almost as much as I earn flying.

I am not going to come back w/ a slam on civie pilots as you did mil pilots...I know many civilian pilots w/ excellent educations & sideline/backup jobs. Stick w/ what you know...reading a TAF/METAR...and leave generalizations to people w/ experience.
