Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and JetBlue Airways have reached an educational collaboration agreement that includes training programs for JetBlue employees.

Under the agreement, the Daytona Beach-based university will provide a "train-the-trainer" program for JetBlue's A320 and E190 simulator trainers at the airline's new training facility at Orlando International Airport.

Forest Hills, N.Y.-based JetBlue (NASDAQ: JBLU - News) will provide cooperative internships for Embry-Riddle students.

Embry-Riddle is the world's largest, fully accredited university specializing in aviation and aerospace. Offering more than 30 degree programs, the university educates more than 30,000 students a year in Daytona Beach, Prescott, Ariz., and through extended campus and distance learning programs.

500 hour CFIs teaching 6,000 hour professionals?

Well those 500 hour CFIs went to Embry Riddle, so they are better than everyone else...

I hope that was sarcasm, because it definitely made me laugh.

How many pilots does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Just one.

He holds onto the bulb and he thinks the world revolves around him.

So. I'm thinking the term "JetBlue employees" implies more than just pilots.

But that's just me.

Good luck!
