My experiences alone also don't define everyone but..... Many of my students were on those flight teams and I never saw anybody treat others poorly at that school because of what part of the program they were in. Urban legend at best. I know that can't be said of all flight schools but in the six years I was there, yeah I was a little slow since I paid my own way, I never saw that.
Congrats on the football team though. You must have been pretty proud with their performance lately.

No regrets. Too many think the market is Vegas. Pilots are cooler people to hang with.

There is simply no way I’d recommend this to my kids. If it was their dream, that’s a
different matter. As a job of choice, not so much.

Best to keep this career, where my only exposure to spontaneous urine puddles is from my brothers waiting for AE results.
