If you are hired, please name the airline that hired you here, so that I can avoid it in the future. What if he wasn't hired here? Doesn't matter. You already avoid all airlines. If only he'd avoid ambiguity... Mixed up -could- avoid the group pleeeeaaaase |

All he does is paste a couple of sentences into Google and he knows right away that the student's a fraud. Meanwhile, my wife just earned a human resources/business degree with a 4.0 GPA, had three internships had SIX scholarships--we didn't have to pay a dime for her college because of her achievements--years of experience as a system administrator, all kinds of field-related volunteer work and a previous honors degree from UTD, a stack of professional references and she can't start at a living wage in the northwest now because she doesn't have enough "work experience." The summer-job CFIs at the license mill across the runway start out at more than what many four-year honors graduates with previous real-world experience can hope to make. Whatever. We're starting our own business. When the going gets weird... -c |

: ceaser28 writes: I am 23 years old and I have been convicted of 1 DUI for smelling like alcohol pratically in New Hampshire, do I still have a shot at being a commercial pilot? Yes, legally. If the conviction was before November 29, 1990, or it was the only conviction, or it was not the only conviction but it was separated from any previous conviction(s) by at least three years, you can still obtain a license. See FAR 61.15. The FAA is surprisingly lenient towards alcohol abusers, as opposed to its attitude towards, say, asthmatics. I suppose there are more alcoholics than asthmatics at the agency. Whether an airline will hire you with a history of substance abuse is a separate question for which I do not have an answer. If you are hired, please name the airline that hired you here, so that I can avoid it in the future. You are an idiot. Bertie |

All he does is paste a couple of sentences into Google and he knows right away that the student's a fraud. College aged kids have been doing this crap since the dawn of time. When I was in college my friend told me about this "term paper bin" his fraternity had, where whenever a member of the fraternity had to actually write a paper, they would donate it to the "bin" when they were finished so another "brother" could use it to turn in to his class. He told me it was two file cabinets large, and there there papers in there going back to the 1930s. Meanwhile, my wife just earned a human resources/business degree with a 4.0 GPA, had three internships had SIX scholarships--we didn't have to pay a dime for her college because of her achievements--years of experience as a system administrator, all kinds of field-related volunteer work and a previous honors degree from UTD, a stack of professional references and she can't start at a living wage in the northwest now because she doesn't have enough "work experience." The wole "kids these days are so lazy, my generation is so much better" is the most contrived argument in the book. Yet is is made by each and every generation time and time again. I can't get too mad about it though. I'm sure when I'm in my 60's I'll be saying the same things to make myself feel better too... |

Yeah, I used to have to compete for grades against those assholes in the Computer Science program at OSU. Each person would write a subroutine of a program and they'd combine it, change around the subroutine names and comments and stuff and turn it in. I knew a bunch of them that got busted my senior year. Out of a class of something like 30, myself and maybe three other people weren't flunked for academic dishonesty. Of course, I barely passed because I went it alone. (Any of you guys remember analysis of algorithms for multiplying n-number of n-dimensional matrices?) Ironically, some of the folks who flunked the class are making huge money right now, and one of them writes software for gaming devices such as slot machines so casinos know exactly how much money is going through their system during any given period, and for setting the "wheel" sizes or whatever. The wole "kids these days are so lazy, my generation is so much better" is the most contrived argument in the book. Yep. -c |
