JB pilot threatens to crash plane

[waveflyer]

Sad. Good luck to the pilot. And glad it didn't get to that point.
Suicides are prevalent - one of my good friends from flight school just lost his brother to one. Army- 2 trips to sunny Iraq and 1 to Afghanistan. PTSD. After 5 years, took his life.

Note- if you have an opinion about suicide- cool- but if you haven't been touched by it- best to stay quiet. I had to break up a cat fight about 6 months ago after a cool guy FO started spouting off his crap-- he'll provide the bullets- bleeding heart liberals all want to over analyze everything- let em all shoot themself - blah blah blah- standard tough guy stuff not based at all in reality. Turns out that hit a bit too close to home for someone in the van not impressed by his aggressive act.

And it was an act. I've never seen a guy shamed or cower so bad in my life.

I joke it all the time. "If your'e having girl problems i feel bad for you son- i've got 99 problems but a ........... aint one. "

but relationships can be a mother ********************er. Best not to preach, or make light- you find someone in a bad way in the head- get them some help.

? Wasn't talking southwest.
Majors routinely have upwards of 10,000 apps when the windows open- you don't have to filter that- nor does any regional- hence the 4 year degree requirement-

Let it go man...just let it go.

Or better yet: Get a college degree!!

It has been posted that I am anti-college degree. Nothing could is further from the truth. The country needs all the college-educated citizens it can have, its raises the level of knowledge to keep this as the greatest country in the world. Real degrees in business, engineering, the sciences, math, and medicine provide a graduate with marketable skills. If you are going to go to college, get a real degree from a real university. Do not spend four years getting a degree in Women’s Studies. The college degree has nothing to do with flying an airplane. Many have posted they agree it has nothing to do with the mastering on an airplane. I have admitted that the possession of a degree may open doors at a few select places of employment in the airline industry. If a potential pilot feels they will only be pleased in life if they get an interview with FedEx, then that prospective pilot should go to college. If a prospective pilots just loves flying airplanes, and would be happy making $70-$100K per year with no debt from college loans, a college degree is not necessary. Many prospective pilots may be steered into attending college when they are not college material, not because of a lack basic intelligence, but because it is not important to them. These pilots want to get on with their lives flying airplanes. I have seen too many non-degreed pilots reach a good career position with out a degree. My advice is go to school part time or community college and fly, pilots get hired because they have flight time. Flt time moves you up the food chain to better jobs; the degree is not needed until the last step. You can go to school part time with a full time flying job, you cannot build real flight time while going to school full time. I have seen non-degreed guys go to the Nationals in their mid-20’s. I guess we are getting very politically correct and having an option different that someone else’s is not allowed. I continually see the “If you do not have college degree you are not as good as me” I can not accept that, I just too many people who I admire who do not have degrees. BTW at JUS almost every pilot has a college degree, because everyone has them, so what. They are no more screening tool that hair color, except to a bunch of HR people who went to college and figure everyone should be like them.

Unfortunately it is true, ask any college admission office, the amount of illiterate students applying to college these days are scary. High schools do not teach, they check boxes and move students up and out.

Now, does that mean a college degree should be the benchmark? I don't think so, as you state woman studies is about as useful as that seat cushion keeping you afloat in a ditching. We all know a college grad with that 2.0 GPA, who is as clueless on graduation as they were on day one as a freshman.

The sad part, the only way to really gauge the worth of a college degree is a post grad degree. Otherwise, coming full circle, I have to agree with pilotyip, the college degree does not mean one is better than another. If it means anything, hopefully it is that you are literate!

Grrrrrreat

That is the "Tony the Tiger" roar from Fosted Flakes in 1959, not my misspeeling. They were tied for 1st place until last night.

Pilotyip the same guy who flew a ratted out falcon to the middleast for like 200 bucks a day and then didn't even sleep got back on a plane to coach it home. All to save the company a few bucks after they laid him off.

That is professionalism. HMMMMMM
