Embry Riddle.....the Harvard of flight schools

[Fblowjets]

Which is worse riddle or delta connection academy? Hard to tell.

I love the stereotypes - all UND grads are like this, all Riddle people are like that . . .


You people wouldn't say that all female pilots are stupid - or that all flight attendants are f_ags or that all Muslems blow people up.

Well, maybe you would say that after all.

Not defending any institution, believe me, just seeing it for what it is - school racism. And you look pretty stupid.

No, just all women.

- or that all flight attendants are f_ags

just the male ones

or that all Muslems blow people up.

Just the ones I don't like

How is it that you can try to preach these values with a slutty, seductive chick as your avatar? LOL.

Riddle is a horrible school, for a bunch of tool bag, no pu$$y gettin mofo's. Oh wait the only pu$$y ya'll get is from the high school girls you have to stalk.. Moreover, a ton of you have trained with my old flight school for your CFI's and you were sorry. I feel so bad that you waisted all of your money and received so little.

Some people are just a "waist" of space.

I thought UND's motto was "Harvard at 30,000ft." I can't find it on thier site anymore though.

It depends on the person....however, Comair trains pilots to one standard of "FVCKING DANGEROUS! "

I'm a riddle student (distance learning program) because it fits in with my life better. I think the education there is good, I've had good professors so far. I however don't believe that pilots are trained better or worse there, a pilot is only as good as his instructor. FWIW I have a friend that went to the Riddle Campus and thought after a 4 year degree she could have spent less for the degree and been in the same place.

Exactly my point! I bought into the program that promised guaranteed interviews. That totally was a sack of lies. And no, I didn't expect them to hand me a flying job. I knew going in that NO ONE could guarantee me a job. CAPT promised:

* Program Completion in 10-12 months
* Guaranteed Interviews with several airlines (which they had none when I signed up)

And they didn't live up to either.

Just curious- was that "Guarantee" in writing?:erm:

Time magazine once dubbed Embry-Riddle "The Harvard of the Skies." To those who know Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, this comes as no surprise. No other private school has contributed more to aviation and aerospace


look what i found...if TIME said it..it must be true...

Nothing was in writing with the CAPT program when I signed up. Basically, it was on their web site, which, if you look on the Internet, you can pull up old versions of their site which says they have guaranteed interview agreements with airlines.

CAPT FAQ Page

I reported to class after my loan cleared with Riddle and the folks at CAPT didn't even ask me for ID. No contracts, nothing. Yep, it was all based on my faith that Embry-Riddle would not f*ck me because of their "Harvard of Aviation" reputation. Suffice to say that's one huge lesson learned (re: contract). They're a shady bunch. I suspected they didn't want a contract because then they can't be easily sued. I already spoke to a lawyer about it and that's what he told me.

They got me on these items:

#5: One Uniform (Actual: they gave us one shirt, everything else we had to pay for to complete the uniform), Charts (Actual: after the initial set, you're on your own...when asked, they dodged the question/request)
#7: 10-12 Months (Actual: 17 Months)
#9: 550 Hours of Flight Experience (225 Actual Loggable Hours)
#12: Several guaranteed interview agreements (Actually no agreements until December of 2004 with Focus Air, their first agreement)

They lied to us about many other things like glass DA40s and the DA42 for multi training, etc. It's too much to go into. I'm still trying to figure out all the lies and documenting them all.

This all sounds like you didn't do your homework and expected too much.
