Recent ERAU grads (or current students) question

I will say that the GIA pilots I have met were for the most part humble and just trying to make it as pilots just like the rest of us... (not that I agree with the program) but I don't think they as a whole should be called jerks...ignorant maybe or maybe just rich

90% of our pilots took out loans or are prior military.

the bottom line is....

So long as pilots are willing to line-up at the door for poverty level income and/or pay an employer to work then we'll all be seen as commodities instead of professionals. Why take on the responsibilities and duties of a professional while being paid as a commodity? At the majors level you see less of this. That's why pilots continue to live with it and accept it as just part of the path to a six-digit career. There's no guarantee folks.

Flight training, cost of living, and intrest rates aren't getting any cheaper yet regional-level pay, overall, isn't changing. The only people that can change that are the ones reading this post.

thoughts?

You mean after you got hammered in your post about Girl Scout cookies you still don't get it? When I see myself, I can say I worked my tail off to be where I am. I will fly my 300 hrs this year, bring in my 6 figures and know that I never had to pay to play Pro Pilot Wannabe! And, BTW On other avaition websites, there are many people there who know who I am. You can even see where I live! But wait, there are professional pilots over there in every sense of the word! I don't think you would do well "over there!"

.........Hmmmmmmm........I've seen this before!!

Its around $750 credit hour at the Daytona campus.

Tuition plus health, parking, technology fees, etc is about $12,000 for the average 15 credit semester.

Funny thing about Gulfstream...they use Facebook to advertise the PFJ program to Riddle students.

I seen a bunch of Delta Connection guys for the first time in REAL LIFE. They were wearing these uniforms and for a second I thought maybe they flew the King Air at the FBO I was checking out. After they walked past me, with their RayBans on indoors, gelled hair, and spiffy uniforms, they were talking about spins in a Cessna. Pretty loud and obnoxious too. As I was going back out to my car, they were standing outside the little DCA office. I laughed to myself a weee bit more. That made my morning.

If you boys are reading this, :cartman::smash:
