Really?

So all CEO's of the Airlines since the beginning of scheduled revenue flight, all have MBA's from Harvard?

Nobody cares if you went to Big Franks CFI school in Pahokee Florida, or Embry Riddle. Enjoy your college life, get your ratings in the summer or on the weekends, then you'll have a CFI job waiting for you with a four year degree in your back pocket and all sorts of fun college memories.

I like that, yea so your telling me get my ratings little by little such as my PPL, instrument, commercial, multi, CfI, CFI-I and CMEI so when I finish college just work as an instructor niceee. Thanks a lot

I also did my CFI initial check ride for free with the local FSDO... then got hired as a CFI at a local flight school, and my II, MEI were also free as the flight school with which I was hired had a DE who didn't charge his CFI's for check-rides.

It's called networking, prospecting, studying hard.

For real.

If you do not have discipline at age 17, how exactly do you expect to get advice from real pilots who program an FMS many times per day? Or hired at all in the industry?

(ughh... the text generation...)

I suppose it's better than where many who I met, who had the same attitude as the OP, ended up....

...at the bottom of a smoking hole...

Yes, respect is earned. Remember that.

I don't think he was trying to correct you, rather I feel he was trying to see how you reacted to being corrected.

If you have the same attitude in an interview, or if a DE tries to correct you, you will lose every time.

And don't be a kiss ass either.... sir.

Sleep well... and learn from those you trust, before you learn from your mistakes.

Either way, learn.
