Aero-News Speaks With Daniel Webster College's
Dr. Robert "Skip" Myers

As the American airline industry returns ever-so-slowly to health, an increasing number of students are expected to seek their collegiate educations at aviation-minded institutions such as New Hampshire's Daniel Webster College. With ever-increasing competition from such entities as Embry-Riddle and Pan Am Flight Training, what does DWC President Dr. Myers (below, right) feel makes his college unique?

"There is a very unique approach to teaching students [at Daniel Webster]," Dr. Myers told ANN Senior Correspondent Kevin O'Brien recently at the 2005 NBAA Convention. "From the day they enter the classroom, they're in a plane... they're not waiting a year for access to flying time. They're flying immediately."

(And he should know, as he's also working on his private pilot license at the college.)

Listen to more of Myers' views on flight training — including how the New England weather affects student training, as well as DWC's plans for students who haven't been to college for some time — in today's ANN Special Report.
