Does Ivy League degree matters?

[Ty Webb]

Thanks, Neal.

But you left SIU off both lists!

You know, Bruce, you might have better luck if you just send Neal a private message.

These threads irritate the piss out of me. It is plain and simple: if you want to be a professional [major] airline pilot, you need a Bachelor's degree in whatever. Get the degree from a school that will teach you something of INTEREST! If you are really serious about the profession, pursue an educational hobby. Oh, is it possible to go to school to enrich ones' self?!

I hear ya engine out...I plan on finishing up a Bachelor's degree in something I enjoy...Cop stuff and law. All them FAPA cookie cutter stepford wives, can kiss my lilly white ass.

I've never once agreed with anything bobbysamd has posted. However, I have to say his reply is 100% right on, this time... Most of aviation could not care less if you went to an Ivy. In fact you're probably better off going to east central state U. since this is where the large majority of pilots graduated from and at the least you will have the alum. connections that go with graduating from the same school. If you have a lot of Latin script on your degree then it's in your best interest to head to McKinsey, or Goldman where it will count. That is, of course, if you want it to count.

P.S. How does any pilot afford to get a place in Manhattan let alone Battery Park. Do tell!

AOPA Strike

I heard the Taft-Hartley Act has been invoked on the grounds that the government deemed the strike to be a peril to national health or safety, and the pilots and FBOs have been ordered back to negotiations.
