"World history degree and waist an entire aircraft full of people in the everglades over a light bulb on the landing gear status panel."
I don't know the educational backgrounds of the two crewmembers on that flight (do you?) But, I'd like to suggest, as an ERAU aero studies grad, that a world history grad can make as good of an airline pilot as a Riddle aero studies grad. Not sure of your background, but I've personally seen first hand that what your degree is in doesn't really matter.

You are exactly right, I am undereducated in the traditional sense (and my degree doesn't matter) but the training we receive is much more specific in nature. In my opinion, this is definitely increasing the overall safety record. While we are underpaid, I think we still make a pretty good bunch of pilots. In other words, had I only been armed with that degree, low time might be more of an issue.
I should not have been so specific but it pains me that we get painted as sub quality so often. I simply don't think that's an accurate assessment.
All education is good, but I think we are doing better. It isn't 100% necessary to be a post grad to be a good stick.
Please forgive my poor choice of expressions.

Maybe we should all be scared at what is happening here in the US. Could you image the promoter of World Democracy turning into a Socialist/Communist society? You laugh, but look at the going-ons in our Federal Government.

That answers the question I asked you in another thread (that you didn't answer) about whether you bid or got bumped to MKE. For someone that doesn't even work for SkyWest, you seem to have a real Jones about the schedules not being commutable. If you aren't even working for SkyWest, much less flying for SkyWest in Mke, how would you know what the schedules are like?

My father also flew without incident/accident from 52-90, also with no degree. He rose through the ranks at Braniff and finished his career with AA after BA finally folded.
