Here at the Prescott Campus ground-school was taught in a regular class room setting with about 20 students. Having never flown anywhere else I cannot compare the flight courses and whether or not Riddle's program is any better (as far as I am concerned, the Aeronautical Science program is a huge waste of money and time, but since its not possible to fly with ERAU and not take classes I am stuck, not interested in the Aeronautical Studies Program either.

So we have all heard that getting a job with a regional airline is relatively easy now compared to what it used to be where the schools and their names played a huge role. But how are things down the road. Do the airlines look back to where you got your schooling? Say when I get ready to move from the Regionals to the Majors, would a pilot who graduated from ERAU have a better chance to land a job (no pun intended =p) than say someone from UND or someone who did everything seperate and on their own?

Honestly the costs here at ERAU are starting to seem very ridiculous, especially if you end up in the exact same spot after graduation as a student from any other flight school. So again I ask if anyone knows if these schools will make it easier to move up the ranks later down in life?
