Who Is Going Or Will Be Going To Embry Riddle

Not really, but please don't carry the "My Daddy is a UAL Captain and makes over 200K per year, and thats what I'm gonna do too" attitude into ERAU. Consider it tough love. There is some good advice in this thread, amidst the bullcrap.

He seemed reasonable until that came out...then it was all bets are off...that sort of attitude just pisses off. Im sure its worse at ERAU...but here at UND there are always those few people who go home every weekend because there daddy is a captain and they get free tickets..and then they have that attitude that they are God's gift to aviation just because there parents raised them to love it (or brainwashed).

The odds of anyone getting into this industry now and making over $200K at a major are slim to none -- our young student needs to know that. When you get there, you will never make the kind of money your dad makes as an airline pilot right now. That's the sad reality. The industry, and the pay, will never be what it was, and it's still on its way downhill.

If you're getting into this for the love of flying, have at it; it's the only thing that keeps most of us in it through all the BS in this business. If you're getting into this for the money, re-think it. Odds are you won't see six figures for over a decade, and having ERAU on your degree will not change that.

I may help a little...but probably not at all.

why do you keep trying to put me down? what have i done to you?

Honestly, why are you guys (im not going to name any names GK rangers and JC) giving him so much crap? He hasn't really said or done anything out of place.

Lay off.

Its one thing when someone says something stupid and an experienced airline/corporate pilot puts them in their place. Its another thing when a couple of airheads like you two start giving him crap for no reason.

So its ok for an airline captain to give him crap but not us because we arent worthy of it? What...we cant have opinions now just because we are in college? Why dont you castrate yourself and kiss their feet while your at it alex...your putting these guys on pedistals, just because they are farther along in our chosen career field doesnt mean we have to bow down to them.

As a Riddle rat myself, I think I'm more in tune with the culture here (at ERAU) than some airline pilot.

I was ignorant once too, but my eyes were opened.

Its called learning to respect those that are smarter, more experienced, and (the real key word here) more mature than you. You have a long way to go.

Take that above post for example. I have no idea what are trying to say. It seems to be some sort of primitive insult, but with all the gramatical errors and misspellings, I can't even comprehend it.
