I've met a lot of air force pilots and have found pilots are a unique breed...

I am under the impression that LU is a long way off from training pilots for 737's. I assume we have Commercial, but isn't the experience limited to a Cessna twin piston engine plane?

I know he's a really smart kid and has been well trained, but I have to admit the idea of getting on board a 737 with JJ McCracken in the pilot's seat is just a bit unsettling.

Yeah, the twin engine trainers are Piper Seminoles. Everything else is just simulator training right now.

Jets aren't cheap to run, and as I understand it, different types require very different training. Just because you can fly one, doesn't mean you can fly them all (even if similar in size). Not sure LU is ready to drop that kind of money it would take to get a good fleet of jet trainers.

I've heard a saying... "If you want to make a small fortune in aviation, start with a big one".

If ever there was a school that had the money to drop on a differentiating program....

Purdue University is listed number 2 and as mentioned in this thread they also just went all in on the LU distance learning model.
