  • I really have done research on ERAU. Unfortunately, around here, there are extremely biased and disgruntled folks complaining about ERAU just for the fun of it. I actually have been PMing with an ERAU graduate who went to a regional straight after graduation, and he gave me loads of advice/opinions as well, that aren't biased, but truthful. The fact is that for flying, ERAU really is a very good institution to attend. Also, I've done campus tours and that kind of thing, and the campus is beautiful as well. I think a final benefit of ERAU is that it's all-aviation, all the time. While this is miserable for some, I love it and I enjoy being around like-minded people.
Ok, preach over
Since you like to use one chart from one airline and the thoughts of one graduate that you are conversing with as basis for facts, would it help you if I put you in touch with numerous people on this very forum who attended ERAU and now feel like it was a huge mistake? I mean if the word of a single person is enough for you to make a decision maybe you need to hear from another with similar experience - OR - you may only want to hear from those that validate a decision already made
