I don't know too much about the US, but in Australia if you get enrolled into the degree course for Aviation/Business that i'm doing; the success rate and transition into our flag carrier is quite high. I know of a lot of people not just in Australia, who've gotten into their flag carriers recently.

Many people have different views, however times change and somebody who's been in the industry 30 years is probs not the best adviser when it comes to making these sorts of decisions! Things were different when he would have been getting started..... I think he meant "stay" away.......
Usually everythings easier said than done; in his day however all he would have needed to do was ask to get in.
