JB pilot threatens to crash plane

[pilotyip]

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

Ahhhh The good ole days.

It was an adventure to remember. I went back to the haunts of my early flying career, P-3's in the Med. Plus I got a lot more than $200/day I got $279.45 per day and $72.00 a day per deim. Better than being unemployed, plus who get to hand fly a beat up ole DA20, non RVSM, non mode "S", and no .833 freq spacing. Being told by Athens Approach to contact Athens Tower on 136.12 was a bit interesting, since 135.97 was our highest freq. But it was the jar of peanut butter and loaf of whole wheat bread picked up at 7-11 on the way to KYIP at 0330 than topped the cake. Do it again in a heart beat.

I'm not on a street corner drumming up business, I do it because I like to. Still living the dream of a five year old and flying airplanes, never made to big time, but the career has been very good to me.

It's been worth it before, but only for about 10 seconds at a time

Of course I don't know what the true facts are of this case. And, I'm probably way off base. But, what a better way for a scorned woman to totally screw up a pilot's life than to get on his computer, send such an email to herself and call the authorities.

Yea... I was thinking the same thing....
There are a lot of women out there that would be capable of pulling that off. Hopefully the truth will be found out quickly. If the guy needs some help, then maybe she did him a favor.

 

[regionaltard]

But I bet he had a college degree, the absolute end in defining who should be an airline pilot.

Bitter, party of one; your table is ready....

Taking this way too serious.
