Good thing they'll be teamed up with professional regional airline captains who can mentor them while listening all about how they'll be at Delta in a year.

Yessiree, that will be a happy cockpit.

Now that I have a little time in King Air's I realized exactly what you and many others already know. Sorry I ever doubted folks like yourself I just didn't know, but I'm damn glad I do know!

Give it a rest ladies, this place (ASA) is a sinking ship.

Best find your EMB manuals online and start reading up in preparation for your transition class.

But wait, I thought it was going to be a "Super Regional" Those two words should never be used in the same sentence.

God speed everyone, Pharmacy school is my recommendation to people now.

I think kids of today have a big advantage to have all the internet resources to check things out. I am glad to see them come on the forums before making the plunge into ERAU or UND. At least we can say they were warned.

Being a UND grad from the 90's(yeah a while ago). Honestly they did a good job with a initial training. Not that I couldn't do it else where. If I had to do again I might consider that. They do seem to blow too much smoke up people's butts, especially new students who have no clue about the industry. But the college experience and friends that I met going to school there, I wouldn't trade.
