Congratulations dude!! Fuc* college.. When you get hired by SWA I bet you wont even care about that!!ASk Bill ;Gates or P Diddy if they ever regretted not completing college

First off, it's not that easy to get hired. Last I heard, they were taking like 1 out of 4.

Second, Bill Gates and P. Diddy are like one in a million.

Third, you will care if you ever lose your job and your options are $8/hr. at Wal-Mart vs. using your degree to be able to pay your mortgage.

Nice......fuc* college......that's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.

Hey man to each their own.. Some of the dumbest people I've run across in my life are those who brag about their college degrees.. I also know several people personally who own their own businesses that are multi-millionaires and never even went to college.. I also fly for a fractional and flew a gentleman two weeks ago who owned a share.. We got to talking and he told me how he's pulling in 6 million a year trading penny stocks exclusively and he never even went to college.. I feel the University structure in today's America is more of a catalyst for group think and doesn't allow for individual creativity.. When I went to college I was taught International Business and Marketing by a professor that never worked in the real world.. he worked his way up through the University structure.. With that being said, I still think it is better to have a degree than to not have one.. but I just think it is very overrated

Congratulations Mr. Hat we talked in the IAH crew room on Saturday about HP. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

 

[Mr Hat]

Thanks 'yall especially my Expressjet peeps. I wasn't trying to start a debate only to kill the rumor that a degree is absolutly needed to get a call. I will say that I'm pretty sure I would have had a better chance if I had one....I talked to one of the SWA recruiters before I got a call.

I started college, got tired of heavy labor and decided that I should get my ratings and start building flight time while I went to college. I just kept getting lucky and kept getting hired til I ended up at ExpressJet. I do not have enough for a 2 year degree, I only went for like a year an and a half....I know, Im a slacker.

Waborita, I was going to PM you on the other forums but they were down last night. Good luck at HPA.

Rich, I am most definatly a pig but not part of the Pref interview group at Continental. Hired three months too late to be part of that.

Fletcha, DON'T JINX ME BROTHA!

Cheers Neal!

hat, when you refered to , "i tallked to one of the SWA recruiters before I got the call" comment, they said what to you, about you, would have been called sooner with one.....?

what's that mean exactly, I hope you understand my question.

are they getting to applicants they have good times but no degree?

...that they were actually calling applicants with the 4 years before now???

thanks dude, good luck!!!

I was curious about that myself. My buddy hadn't heard a thing until he talked to a recruiter at an AIRINC. job fair, next thing he knew his phone is ringing! I've been updating my app twice a month like clock work, but no call. I've got the type rating, the four-year and 3,000 PIC 121 turbine. Are they just not calling us turbo-prop guys?
