Not a punchline just an observation. Usually more aeronautically knowledgable. Rip VanJealous...

What a joke !!!
Most of them have no common sense and "real world" decision making whatsoever. If it's not in the book, they don't know it. Can't think outside the box.
My personal experience after 10 years on the left seat, the best new FOs are the "change of career" guys (and gals), they bring something called prospective...(not in any Riddle book apparently).

I dont think it was in the Riddle book, because you meant Perspective, I think



Bu I know what you mean about flying with people who have no decision making capability or cant thin in the cockpit.

Very hilarious video of a young Guido mouthing off in the same fashion as the My New Haircut" guy.

Enjoy.

Asian Version of Riddle Guy

Okay, a friend just sent me the Asian version of this video. (i.e., an Asian guy doing the same routine.)

Hilarious too.

Last time I CFI'd (late 90's) , my boss wouldn't hire riddle guys any more. Now before you say he didn't know what he was talking about or whatever, consider this. He was a D.E. , had owned this school for a long time, flew A-6's (I believe it was A-6's) in the navy. ATP , part 121/135 ops, and about 4 or 5 jet types. His claim to me at the time was that it was based on their lack of an instructional level of knowledge. He also said he didn't much care for their attitudes. I think he may have also been burned by a couple of them on expensive aircraft checkouts.
Now having said that- there was a girl there who was riddle . (hired before his policy change) who he thought very highly of. She's a Mad Dog driver at Allegiant now.

There's too many ways nowadays to get a good level of training anyways for alot less money.

I dont know, he is a friend of a friend. Somewhere between 02-04

I know you, and you're full of it.
He reminds me of a typical SIU grad, but less cocky.

 

[siucavflight]

You dont know me. And I have never heard us called cocky before!

You don't have to call yourselves Cocky, but it's well known that SIU pilots are among the cockiest.

 

[siucavflight]

Sure we are!

 

[Salukipilot4590]

Maybe its because I got a great education and didnt pay $1Bill for it!

...and there's women here...

They now charge 120K for training, so pretty much a school for spoiled rich kids who expect everything handed to them, they also feel like they are Gods gift to aviation.

No, not rich, just have lots and lots of loans. Around the beginning of my junior year I realized that ERAU wasn't exactly the most cost-effective way of getting things done, but by that point I wasn't really in a position to switch universities. I stuck it out, graduated, and instructed for 800ish hours before moving on.

I know just as many arrogant ERAU grads as I know arrogant grads from other places. In fact, I've found that most people who make a big deal about where people went to school are generally the worst offenders. There are RAA, Ari-Ben, DCA, etc. grads with me in my crashpad, and we're all just in the same boat. We all got our ratings somewhere, instructed/towed banners/flew skydivers, and are now just trying to make it through first year pay. Schooling doesn't make one bit of difference in the long run, and that's something everyone needs to realize.
