What constitutes an ERAU grad?

[EMB170Pilot]

Naa..your Good...i Went There And Got As Business Degree..i Think They Are Talking About The Dudes Walking Around Campus In Kackies,raybans And Tom Cruise Leather Jackets..bragging About Being Of The Flight Team...

which is why I never joined the flight team....left ROTC Det 157 in DAB is because of those dorks.....

they are so sad.....


Went to 1 Riddle Flight Team Meeting and at the end of the meeting.....the leader dork or whatever his title was...yelled...and who is the number flight team in the U.S.??

the audience yelled ERAU (as in say that as 1 word ErrrrrrrrrrRRRUuuuuuuuu)

I was like WTF????? and they did it 3 times....... Looooosers!!!

I'll agree that were MANY people who I chose not to associate with at Riddle, but are you guys really that embarassed that you went there? I have no problem telling people I went there, and no, I didn't wear RayBan Aviator glasses and flight suit to the flightline.

Yes. I am.

I flew with a ERAU grad from daytona and was told flat out that if he and I were competing for a job at a "major" he would get it no questions asked because he went to ERAU. Funny thing about that is he is still flying the RJ and I have moved on to a major. HUH!

i am sure he is the minority but still alot of attitude in such a small flight deck. Of course I baited him by stating that his degree from ERAU was the most expensive flight instrutor license around.

i do remember the silver bucket..wow..but we drank some beer at Bernkastels...anyone remember the Coliseum...?

Oh man...don't get me started. The Coliseum, 701 South, The Ocean Deck, Molly Brown's. Those were the days (1993-1994).

Riddle doesn't have a monopoly on the dorks. One captain at my last airline went to a flight school in Southern California. I think he was from Belgium.

While instructing in a 152 he would show up sporting a military flight suit and flight helmet.

After upgrading with all of 1510 hours (had to use sim time to meet ATP mins, and only had 150 hrs in anything larger than a seminole) he immediately went back to his flight school in San Diego in his full airline uniform and brand new captain stripes.

Goes grocery shopping in uniform too.

If you ask him about his 152 flight helmet he will gladly start a conversation about how he got it rewired for civilian use etc. May even show a picture.

What ever I had a blast down there in DAB. School was challenging and fun. People, yes there are dorks everywhere you go. who cares enjoy the friends you got. Point Break now that was a fun place, I think it's called 600 North now. Ocean Deck was a great place to hang out. The best southern food had to be Aunt Catfishes down in New Symrna Beach.

I went to another college before transferring to Riddle. Every spring break I had girlfriends come down and stay with me. Guys I never knew were stopping by to say hi to me.... and the girls. That was retarded.

Aunt Catfishes got whacked the 4th weekend by a funnel cloud.

No hush puppies for you!

You know you're flying with an ERAU grad when.....

8. He opens his flight case, wallet, or coat pocket and condoms fall out. All the condoms are at least 5 years old.

That ********************'s hillarious!

Aunt Catfishes got wacked that sucks. How about memories of walking over to the mall to shop. Cause u couldn't afford a car. Hooters on international Speedway. Rio Bravo happy hour after a full day of flight instructing. Spend all the money u earned that day on drinks but hey who cares it was fun (2 drinks). Krispy Kreme after the bars closed. Fresh hot donuts, nothin better when your drunk except maybe Steak & Shake. Finally the dollar theater, pile up in a pick up truck buy a bunch of beer & sneak it into the theater. Watch a movie and get ********************faced with your buds. I had great memories there. The good ol days. Been to many different colleges & partied. Riddle was its own animal. But a great time, glad I did it.

-Sounds like someone may have had a threesome (and not the good kind.)

ERAU SUX!

Jmoney sounds like you have repressed sexual issues. Good luck with Chris Hanson and his "to catch a predator show." You'll need help with that mode of thought. I can't wait to see you on dateline MSNBC. You took what I stated and blew it way out of proportion. Best of luck, your time with the shrink, hopefully it will be a good investment.

Funny!

Looks like I may have hit a little close to home..... Ol' gearbitch here seems to be awful pround of piling in a puckup with his buds down at that toolfest.
However, practicality is a virtue-I guess a truck would work well for this sort of tryst with one's buds..... Just hose that sucker out and bam! You're ready for the next "date."

-Settle down, Francis!
