When I have called FSI some 3 years ago, they have expressed that "This is a professional institution!" with the appropriate tone (I guess everything else isn't)

We had a DCA guy come in our Part 61 flight school, looking to instruct. He was talking to the skydive guys about part-time, and stopped in to talk about instructing for us. He used that same line on me saying that he went to DCA and not some "quickie mom and pop shop, that he learned professionally, blah, blah, blah." I felt like smacking him in his head and saying where are you at and what kind of job are you looking for. The skydive guys are desperate, so they are considering him as a part-timer, but he definitely had the cocky attitude, and I thought that was only engrained into us Riddle guys. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anyways, whether you go to UND, ERAU, DCA, where ever you may go looking for jobs, keep your audience in mind...don't insult "mom and pop flight schools" if that's where you're looking for employment. There are good and bad instructors at any type of place. Be the most professional you can at whatever you do! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bandit.gif </rant>

When I first started looking for CFI jobs, I had the "Hey, I'm a Riddle grad!" spiel. Soon, I learned that it wasn't such a good idea to go walking into an FBO with a "Proud to be an Eagle!" t-shirt on.

I can see that happening... I have seen the same attitude in young Scuba Diving Instructors... as soon as they get their cert they think that they are now the "Master of the Universe".

One thing I learned after 14 years teaching SCUBA... and now I apply to Aviation.... It takes 10 years to begin to master your craft and to realize how much you still don't really know! We are students forever... in the sense that there is always something new to learn...

Good post and good point... DCA and the other "BIG" Schools do teach to high standards... but ultimately we are still cookie cutter-low time pilots with the hopes of landing a good job and a life of experience ahead of us.
