"I'm all about educating folks about this crazy career I'm in. I think jetcareers does a good job of that. I think DCA does a lousy job of that."

Why is it DCA's job to educate someone on this career...they are the means to acheiving that career...People come to them because they have already decided that the airline is the way to go for them. They aren't high school counselors doing job surveys for kids. Just like I said before...students in law school don't get the cons and the tragedies of the real world nor do the ones in any college or higher education. It's not their job. I don't think doctors call pre med students and say you get sued all the time, you are always getting called etc. Why should DCA have to tell someone about the pitfalls of the industry. That responcibility goes on the shoulders of the applicant...this is a great place for them to find out information. Judging by the harshness that DCA is attacked then I doubt many who go hear will get a positive view of the academy so you can sleep at night 727. But I have no sympathy for people that go in to something this big blind and cry foul when they can't cut it or it wasn't what they thought from t.v. or adds.
