i feel so bad for these guys that are getting aviation degrees. all i can think of is the current state of the airlilnes and aviation, with all the furloughing and downsizing, and how they only have an education in aviation. at least minimum wage went up Jan. 1.
So you've got your finger on the pulse of aviation huh?
I'm not defending the program, I think it was a rip off, but I knew plenty of guys back in the mid-late 90's that got hired with regionals with less than 500 hours, some with less than 200. All are now either Captains with their airline, a few are working at places like Cathay, and FedEx. It dosen't take 5000 hours to do the monkey skills.... and one of the captains jobs is to mold you into a future left seater. One that thinks other wise isn't really doing his job 100%.
