Its so hard for pilots to be "well wishers."
Because we recognize unfairness when we see it.

Maybe they know more about filming remakes of scenes from "Top Gun" and putting them on youtube. (Just search youtube for "Embry-Riddle Top Gun" if you haven't seen it yet.....Saddest video in history!)
I know one of the "6 people" and I have to say it couldn't have happened to a better person. I doubt this program will be around much longer with the market for pilots turning the direction of the company again right now. They were very picky about who they picked. They will be FOs for a long long time. Some people get lucky. Don't be pissed because your jealous that it didn't happen to you. Ask yourself this, "If this was offered to me when I was a new pilot would I have taken it." I think most people would answer yes to that question.
Well, I gotta defend Riddle again.
Of course I can't speak about any other university because I only went to Riddle, but I can tell you that for avaition studies I can't imagine a better place.
I used knowledge from my aeronautical degree on the Cathay interview 12 years after I graduated.
Many things I learned in systems, auto flight, and aeronautics classes I have used to better my understanding of both military and civilian avaition.
I don't like to toot my horn, but I have achieved EVERY aviation goal I have ever strived for from flying fighters to float planes to 747-400's. I owe Embry Riddle for giving me the tools to reach those goals.
Because of my degree I was selected to be a test and evaluator for the EA-18G program at the Boeing factory in St. Louis. That was a high point in my career.
I was a military reservist and had a job while going so don't think we all rely on funny money.
Go to Embry to help with you aviation career, then get better rounded by getting a masters is something else.
BTW - I got laid plenty there. You just have to avoid the "Neo-maxim-zoom-dweby" trap.
