How do you graduate Summa Cum Laude from CAPT? Is that a farce? Am I losing my mind, or are you kidding.

How do you graduate Summa Cum Laude from CAPT? Is that a farce? Am I losing my mind, or are you kidding.

Maybe you can call CAPT and ask them what that's all about. Because to-date, I have no idea. But everyone in my class was introduced at graduation with that title. So is it a joke? I don't know. I feel like the whole CAPT experience was a bad joke. And I'm paying huge for it. So when you call them and ask, be sure to tell them that they're the laughing stock of the flight training industry.

No offense, but that is over the top. I'm sure you'll find a job, it just may take some time. This industry is totally discompassionate and harsh.

What's over the top? CAPT's line of crap of my total distaste for their operation?

 

[ReportCanoa]

No, the Cum Laude thing. That's all.

Just make sure you get a four year degree.

DCA is a good school. Expensive, but good.

It's not really a school. When you graduate, you leave without a degree or diploma. All you really have are your ratings, your debt, and if you're lucky, a 20k/year job.

Like all of us, my Brotha!

ERAU Harvard? Just cause you paid the same price as Harvard does not give you the right to call that school elite in any sense of the word. If you went Harvard, and had an IQ like those students, you would know this. You got ripped off, taken and all for what? You make the same cash value as the rest of us. Your ROI (return on investment) sucks. Not saying the school is bad but that you spent way too much money for your economic return in the industry.

Actually ERAU is a whole lot cheaper than Harvard. Compared to similar private schools, its actully on the low side. ERAU is only about $25,000/yr for tuition room and board (not counting flying) and alot of other private schools (including harvard) are well over $40,000/yr. (ex: University of Miami is around $45K) So even if you were to tack on another $10K for flying, its still considerably cheaper than peer institutions. Having said this, learning to fly and getting into this industry at all is a ripoff if you look at ROI. Any way you slice it, getting into this industry is both a poor decision and a bad deal. At least with a "brand name" degree you have options if you come to your senses and decide to get out of aviation.
