Seniority is whenever you start at the airline as a pilot. The only potential advantage is the reduction to 1000 hours for the restricted ATP vs 1500, to get you to start faster. There are a lot of other schools, most cheaper, who offer the same reduction.

Years ago when regionals were in a very different environment, the minimums to get hired were set by the airline. Some would allow ERAU students to be hired with lower hours. But Riddle was not the only school with that kinda agreement.

About the only real college type advantage for a major would be if you interned at that company. ERAU is going to definitely have contacts with all the internship folks and will probably have the highest percentage of students interning. But there will be plenty of students from other schools who will have intern too.

My big point is ERAU has some very small advantages, but all that they’re offering could be found at other college aviation schools too. If you really want that 4 year aviation college experience, there are options other than Riddle.
