Mesa Airlines for Riddle?

[nonstop]

I see stupid people.

 

[T-prop]

At least this thread has provided me a little entertainment while I rot on reserve.

I'm glad they pump you full of B.S. down there.

Hey, glad you get something for your money. At the regional I used to work for we AVOIDED Riddle pilots at all costs. Those we hired usually didn't work out, it's that gods gift to aviation attitude and a preconcieved notion that they knew it all, had a better way of doing everything, etc.. Flight Safety people were pretty much in the same boat.

Not to say all big schools are bad, we had good luck with F.I.T. people and some others.

The question is why would someone spend all that money at ERAU to learn to fly and get a degree in aviation. Sounds kind of like a deadend. All you can do is avaition.

Personally, a more prudent choice would be to get a 4 year degree in something like business, finance or accounting. Get your ratings locally or a quicky school in Florida. You'll spend a lot less money and you'll have a backup built in.

However, One thing ERAU does well is creating a package, an expensive package, but it's easy just sign on the dotted line.

If you think having Embry Riddle printed on your application on the big interview makes any difference, your kidding yourself!!! What is much more important, is what you have done SINCE school NOT where you went to school.

I graduated from Riddle a few years ago and trust me, there is still boatloads about aviation that I don't know and I'll admit it. Take it from someone who has seen a small amount of the industry through the eyes of the real world and not Riddlevision. Your A320 time and 777 knowledge means squat right now and will for many years to come. Nobody is going to hire a 1500 hour pilot to fly a 777 that has a type rating and an ATP nevermind someone with less than 250 hours and some seminole time. And please, don't ever say again that you'll fly for peanuts because that is why management likes to bend pilots over and give us the royal screwing. It's guys like you that give Riddle the name it has and when you do graduate and get paid 15,000 a year to flight instruct and 20,000 a year to work your a$$ off flying for someone, I'm sure your viewpoint will change.

 

[Sgt. Hartman]

Not everyone that went to Riddle has the "God's gift to aviation" attitude.

Roflmao

I have to say that this made my day better!

The best thing to come out of riddle was the ungoddly number of good friends in the industry. its not whatcha know its who you ... well you know

flys4fun,

you are heading the right direction for a rewarding aviation career. take any short cut you can get even if you have to pay for a job. riddle grads are some of the best pilots out there and you are already superior to your fellow sidekicks. 777 knowledge is what airlines want in these hard times, it will save them money when they come to train you. forget flight instructing in a cessna that will get you no where. when mesa calls you. go. riddle grads are usually only at regionals for a year or so before they get called by a major. i wish i went to riddle. i went to tab i got plenty of turbine time but not much education. riddle rulz

OH MY FREAKIN GOD are you serious? SHUT THE HELL UP... you make all the rest of us ERAU grads look like tools. I can put my jet down on a three wire, with a 130 kt approach speed, keeping a centered ball, and within one unit AOA all the way through the approach but going to Riddle didn't have a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** thing to do with that skill... if you CAN'T land a 152 on spot you suck. Please, for the love of god, quit buying into all the BS that Riddle shovels to you. You really think that systems class you took learning the 777 systems is gonna be crap if/when you wind up in a B-1900 ground school, making 18 bucks an hour? No one out there gives a **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** where you got your training from... your pilots licence comes from the same place as everyone elses, and on the same piece of plastic. The training is no better/worse than anywhere else. Everyone takes the practical test to the same standards. And I taught at ERAU for 3 years so I can speak in great detail as to the "quality" of training you get. Open your ears and shut your mouth for about the next 1000 hours of flight time... then you may speak again.

Well said!!

 

[Sgt. Hartman]

That's right Ice..Man, I'm sure you are pretty dangerous in your Beech 1900 Mav but open your eyes and get a life.

Guys, this moron is full of crap and only writing this sh*t to tick everyone off.

 

[flyer172r]

I think we should do our friends a favor.
Everytime you hear a prospective pilot say the follow
- I'll do what ever it takes to get into a jet.
- I'll fly for that crap pay if it means I get a job.
- I'll give them X amount of dollars to build more time.

Or ANYTHING along the lines of taking a job for degrading pay..

When they make a statement like this, we should help them by giving them a swift karate chop to the throat. Maybe they will learn, and gain some respect for themselves

Nah, I'm thinking it would be better to take a big long pole and shove it up their rear end so they know how it'll feel once they wake up and face reality.

In all seriousness, there are college aviation grads who don't buy into that crap about how low regional pay is ok because we get to fly shiny airplanes. The whine of those jet engines and the cool looking hat isn't gonna help pay the rent on the rundown studio apartment I plan on barely affording after I graduate in May.

Previous 777 systems training means NOTHING to an airline!! what do you think? they have some sort of special short B777 course for Riddle commando's that somehow will save them money? No they have to go thorigh the same course as everyone else. Won't save them a dime!! The time required by the FAA is overkill and everybody get's through it.

What counts once the basic qualifications are satisfied is attitude!! and that's where alot of ERAU people (not all) come up short. I can't imagine they were born with that attitude, it must of been learned or programmed.

As a Riddle commando once told me "I went to the best aviation school in the world, that makes me very competitive with the majors" at the time he had 700 hours. clearly not competitive, but it took him a while to figure that out.

and the flame bait continues

It's comical to see how wrapped up some of you guys get when it's quite obvious the intent of the post.

It's fun, plus it's cold outside

 

[BoilerUP]

Hungover Navy pilot? Surely you jest, Patmack....


Serioulsy, why does anybody respond to this crap? The flamebaiters are getting more subtle and sophisticated, but you can still see it a mile away. Riddle/Mesa/PFT/flying for free/etc...its always the same!

Anyways, its a shame he'll never get to put his A320 knowledge to good use, because by the time he becomes a "major airline pilot", the last pieces of the last Bus will be flown to Mojave...by a 727!

 

[Flys4Fun]

This thread was a sham. Tools.

Thanks for providing 4 pages of entertainment though.

Any bets as to if the A380 will be making a similar demo? Gotta hand it to airbus, they can make some tall flames

 

[exchexflyer]

I just so happened to graduate from Riddle but it was an extended campus. Every time I tell people I have a Riddle degree I have to explain to them that I didn't do any flight training there. I don't want people to think I have a cocky attitude like this moron. Wow, A320 sim time huh? Who cares!

 

[b82rez]

All you guys are 100% retarded

 

[Flys4Fun]

Thanks for bringing down the quality of the forum... get out of your dorm and get yourself laid....

I think the quality of the forum was already pretty low, eh "T-45C stud" ?

GOD just goes to show you how easy it is to make a fake name.

Best part is, I don't care. Flame me, flame Riddle, but in the end you're flaming an anonymous person on the internet. Who's the retard wasting their time now? I'm getting a kick out of it, so it's not a waste of time to me...where does that leave you?

Last post, goodbye all
