If we were going for the same job in aviation, and let's say I had 7,000 hours and you had 2,000 hours, we held the same ratings, only difference was total time. Try and tell me that an interviewer is going to take you with your experience over me with mine, just because you hold a degree. Now, what world are you living in? I am so sick of people like you who think they are ENTITLED to whatever job just because they hold a degree. Tell me, how old are you? You don't know me. Do you own and run your own business like I do? It's people like you, with this arrogance and attitude, that make me want to puke. By the way, you spelled wise wrong (not wize). See ya!
First, I never said I was entitled to anything. Second, this thread has nothing to do with me thinking im entitled to anything. Third, I dont think I even said I had a degree. So I really have no idea why you think im talking about myself. Im simply stating the facts. A guy with an education has a better chance than a guy who does not. Whether its right or not, thats another thing. I DONT think it right by any means. But im afraid, thats the way things run now. I am agreeing with you on almost every aspect. Experience means more than a degree. You have more experience than me, no doubt. And no doubt YOU should get a flying job over me if you are a better pilot. However, As a few other posters have already agreed with me, you will see your thinking may not be correct. This, I have more experience I am going to get the job, is not always correct anymore. And another thing, the "wize" spelled wrong, thats in your screen name! I was poking fun at you.
In a nut shell, I agree with you. I dont feel entitled to any job. Experience over a degree is the way it should be. Executives from big companies, they do not agree. Thats just the way things are going right now.
