Who Is Going Or Will Be Going To Embry Riddle

[J.C.Airborne]

Oooosp, i forgot to mention...

Many of the people i fly with that attended riddle or und eventually tell me that they graduated from that school in the first or second day. I dont exactly know the reason why they are so proud but i let them swim in their own pool of envy. The people that graduated either from Ivy league schools or other notable schools are humble in their experiences.

YOu guys should really take a course in humbleness and the art of being professional.

seems like your a pompous jack a$$ who is saying if you dont go to a reputable school your a nobody. Geez...get a clue!

How Did I Miss This Thread.

I Am Going To Erau Too! See U There Brother

That is YOUR fault.

I'm CLEARLY aware of that. However it's not as easy as many think it is to get a transfer out of here.

The best advice I can give anybody who's looking at going to Riddle is be prepared for more than your fair share of crap. Yes, any college has crap to deal with, but Riddle's is a special brew.

I used to be proud to have a degree from Humpty Diddle, but after reading these posts and knowing that riddle will take any applicant to survive well...Im embarassed. The flight training there isn't all that great and it seems like a lot of you hold yourself on a high pilar cause your going there. Woopty doo, ERAU was a joke. The flight instructos just want TT so they don't give a damn whether you learn anything or not. The flight department could care less what your name is, they are only concerned what your prisoner number is. Academics were easy, and the b.s. there wasn't worth any of it. Anyone going there is gonna get a quick wake up call. Everyone there in Aerosci thinks they are gods gift to flying even though the biggest thing they have ever piloted was a skyhawk. Just cause you have LevlDsims 767 on your FS doesn't mean you could fly one in real life. My personal opinion is riddle is headed downward loosing respect from its allumni left and right. They don't produce anything better then a part 61 school would produce. They gouge everyone for money while the 20 year old CFI walks around with his airline pilot uniform on thinking he's a captain of a Maddog. Ill never forget sitting in Calc class one day, I was a soph, just got my CMEL and some freshman was sitting in the front row. The night before he had flown back from where ever the hell he was from through ATL and back to DAB on the MD88. That night a nasty set of +TS had gone through the south and ATL had delays. He was telling us all, (because of course he was a riddle student working on his instrument) That he walked up to the podium at ATL and told the gate agent he was from Riddle and he couldn't believe a captain of an Maddog was afraid to fly through the storms cause we all know this mighty braniac of a freshman thought he as god and didn't have an F'n clue about real world flying. Riddle produces nothing but robots....you do this at this time this at this time. Great....very CRM sort of training. With no practical fly fly fly training. Riddle was a waste of time and a waste of money. 150K is about the minimum youll spend for classes and flight training only to get you maybe 250hours, a CFI job maybe, cause if you think the day you graduate your going to a regional, not going to happen, unless your headed to great mistakes or gulfstream. Good luck, enjoy, just remember, those locals in DAB aren't fans of the riddle nerds so don't go spending all your money on hats and tshirts, you do that and the closest your gonna get to a chick in college is on your computer.

Riddle from my point of view.

Flying - bad.

Engineering - good.
Safety Science - good.
Human Factors - good.
Meteorology - good.

Look past the Aero Sci and the flight department and underneath lies a good school.
