It may also be a good idea to take a couple of flights at your local FBO before settling on this as a career path, throwing down 12+k for your first semester at Riddle only to find out you don't like flying would stink.

If I had the choice of weather to re-enroll in Riddle I probably would. But your going to have to do your homework make your own decision.

If I had the choice of weather.. it would be warm and sunny everyday!

Well, it looks like someone either has way too much time on their hands or discovered the search function (and used it) which also indicates an excess of spare time.

I like it when people bring up old threads, of course I don't want to read all 4 years of posts (that'd be boring and I have ADD), but what the hell, it brings us back to a time when things were different

Like any college, Riddle is as good as you make it. College is meant to teach you higher skills. Aviation doesn't care where you get an education and all that matters is you can accel in your field. For me, flying is the most exciting thing I've found. Management degree or Aeroscience (or otherwise), Riddle fit the bill. $190hr+ beats flippin burgers. But I'd rather be inverted any day. Think I'll go back to teaching aerobatics... and make the $$ driving a B-767-300 for fun.
Don't diss the ID. It's a joke.

PS
this subject is not about wither to major in aviation or not

Just my opinion, but.. just about every FO I fly with who has a hard time with people skills and/or stick and rudder skills has gone to Riddle.

This is not to say every Riddle grad has problems. Just seems easier to slip threw the cracks at that school. Maybe it's because mom and dad pay for it so the kids coming threw have no respect for the profession, or maybe youth these days have an entitled attitude in general.. I have no answers, just an observation and opinion.

I mentor pilots and I advise them to search all schools in there area. A motivated student at a part 61 school will out "fly" a slacker from a part 141 school any day. And I advise them to get a degree other than aviation.
