I'm not mad. It's just the more posting I read from Riddle Grad's, the more I realize my intellectual shortcomings. To think, I wasted 8 years going to a real college,(the first few years are a bit of a blur) instead of wasting $200,000+ going to a make believe college. Any suggestions on how I can overcome this handicap and continue in life, and aviation will be greatly appreciated.

So I get this email today. I know you shouldnt read tone into an email, but just the way this read made me think these guys are a bunch of pricks. I HOPE I AM WRONG for those of you that work there, but they dont pay enough for me to put up with stuff like this.
I wrote back recommending that they adjust the way they correspond with people realizing that people come to them for a quick touch and go to build hours, but people dont deserve to be treated like this.
Note the NO PAY for training and Williston ND or NM....***!!

Also, they know it is a "touch and go" airline and nobody wants to make a career out of it. That being said, many touch and go straight to the majors. With your attitude, you better hope you get on at a decent regional because you will wind up making a career out of it.
