Boeing777,

I'm not going to say what's right or wrong (because it's different for every individual), but take everything the recruitment videos and websites say with a grain of salt (I'd love to see the data that backs up that ER claim). If I were in your shoes all over again I would visit as many schools as you can afford to. Most will provide free tours and have you talk to an admissions counselor but they'll only tell you what they want you to hear. Talk to as many current students as you can, take in the atmosphere of the school.

Don't belive the hype from any of them. Your certificate won't say where you trained. And the school on the resume only helps as long as you've got the charactor and the skills that the company wants.There are a ton of great colleges and flight schools out there that will get you to the same point. You'll find the right one but make sure you look around and ask lots of questions.
