"Also another question: How do flight schools get away with false advertising so greatly and so boldly?"

Dude...I've been fighting this battle at another popular aviation careers website for years. Some of the guys that used to argue with me recently went to Comair for pete's sake. That should teach them that "being owned by Delta" really doesn't mean everything.

Big academy marketing/advertising is one of my biggest pet peeves. Most guys just blow it off and could care less. There really is nothing we can do about it other than post our opinions at sites where young newbies frequent. At least then they go into it with an education. I keep saying the day DCA, CAPT, or PanAm puts a link to my favorite aviation career website, or this one, is the day I shut up.

"but what do I do when no one will hire me at 1000/300????"

Get up to 1200 hours and you'll have no problem getting a 135 freight job. It's not pretty but it'll make you a better pilot and pays better than the regionals first year. I have a friend who's Capt on a BE99 after three months at Amflight who got hired at 1200/100.
