Hey! Can it with the rich Riddle wonderboy crap. Yah, it struck a nerve. I went to Riddle and had 3,400 hours when I got to AWAC. I payed my ********************ing dues. Been homeless twice getting my time before applying. Not everyone who comes to AWAC has low time and not everyone with low time who gets in here went to a university. I just happened to fly with one of our low timers and he was way better than a lot of high time FOs. And yah, we had a bit of an emergency at the time and he did great.
Man, I'm so sick of this university program bashing. Is there ANY training place that is acceptable to the masses? Doubt it. I don't go around bashing people who got training at part 61 schools. Man, we all work in the same environment and have to do the same job. Some people choose one path, some choose another.
I guess it's something I'll just have to get used to seeing on this forum. Doubt it will ever go away when one group just loves to bash another group just because it's another group. Sad really.

THANK YOU!!! and im not defending because i was a low timer when i started...because i wasnt...it is entirley possible that there are people on the face of Gods green earth that can handle the almighty CRJ or ERJ with 4 or 500 hours....it is also entirley possible that the people in the training departments of these carriers sees these applicants as being capable people and hires them. WOW! I went to the bastard step child University of Purdue and know that the training program there is specifically structured so a majority of the students are in a qualified when they graduate....i wasnt as lucky....what do you expect..should the FAA mandate an FAR that all graduates of Accredited Aviation Universirty's have to Flight Instruct for a minimum of 2000 hours before they can even clean the toilets on an RJ???gimme a break..theres more important crap to deal with right now in the industry than stupid crap like this...go ahead flame away....
