That's pricesless right there!!!

One thing I'll agree, is it's not just limited to Purdue students, but a lot of the major schools can push though "mediocre" and unmotivated students. These are kids that do it because there are a few really cool things about flying, but they could give a crap about improving their skillset etc... Then they get out in the ranks and honestly give us all a bad name, regardless of school.

Another thing is the "sheltered" training style Purdue contains us in. I didn't realize it until I was out and graduated. Some people can adapt, others can't as well.

Well I'm off to go pick up a new G1000 Meridian!
