I was hoping! I didn't even realize it was #2000 until after I hit "submit"!

i.e. CO-ex, and other commuters who charge for training.

Well, it's not often that I sing the praises of CoEx (or any other RJ operator) these days, but I suppose to be fair, I should point out that CoEx doesn't require PFT any longer. They stopped requiring that around 6mos before I got hired (around 5 years ago). New hires these days get their training for free at CoEx's own training center, they are provided a hotel room, and they're even paid a training wage from day one. This is better than some line pilots get treated!


Falcon Capt, 2000 posts? Geez man, and I thought I spent alot of time online lately!!

Degree useless?

Mr. DA Capt, I have never stated a college degree is useless, I have only stated its importance in an aviation career is misplaced. I have stated going into a four year on-campus program may not be the best courses to follow if your career goal is to be a professional pilot. I have even admitted that the college degree may open doors at a few select employers. I have offered an alternate to the traditional four year college degree program for prospective professional pilots and that is build TJ PIC and get your degree on the side. The airlines do not care what your degree is in or where it came from. I have stated if you want to go college and get a real degree, good for you, both you and the country will benefit from your efforts. I have stated that a college degree has nothing to do with flying an airplane, I am getting support from many readers that this is true. So your statement that I think a college degree is useless is incorrect. BTW congrats on the 2000 number, that must put you in the top 10?

PilotYIP... Does mean anything to you? I was having a little fun, not trying to re-ignite a dead horse... Relax...

It's FAR more than "a few select employers", I realize you have been at USAJet a long time and might not be aware of how times have changed... A College degree is no longer looked at as a "bonus point", it is pretty much expected... The job market has changed and will continue to get more competitive...

Some of the airlines have not made it a formal requirement... I know UAL didn't REQUIRE it, but over 99% of those getting interviewed had a 4 year degree... Does a person want to shoot for one of the thousands of slots in the 99% group or one of a very small handful of shots in the "less than 1% group"? If you want to play this game, you want as many things in your court as you can get...
