Who cares where they did their training! I am sick of hearing the ERAU snobs thinking they are gods gift to aviation! I am not saying anything bad about guys/gals that go there, but this guy in the article, give me a ****ing break! It doesn't matter where you are trained, you still have to go to an examiner who is going to send you home if you suck!

Like I said in another thread; worked a Career Fair with UPS, FedEx, Freedom, & XJT pilots today. Posed the question about where do I get my flight training and it was unanimous...the airlines and most pilots couldn't give a "mickey flick" where you got your training. FAA approved is FAA approved. Period.

easy solution. Make it a desirable career again. I don't understand why that is such a hard thing to understand...

Thanks man, I like cats too. My cat's name is Trogdor (not him pictured), after the half dragon/human 'burninator' from www.homestarrunner.com.

That is one of the most stupid articles I have read lately. Riddle must be having a hard time recruiting lately.

I'm sure that when people realize that they can get what riddle offers at 1/4 the price, they probably are having problems recruiting.
