No indication that applies anywhere else, and I would not attend a brand-name aviation university just to get possible preference, or the R-ATP... there are much cheaper ways to do that. If money is no option, sure why, not do a package deal. Although if it were me I'd look somewhere other than Prescott... I drove through on a camping trip and it didn't like there were any coeds in sight.
What you say makes perfect sense.
What doesn't make ANY sense is how ERAU and a few others can justify charging an arm, leg and a first born when its so apparent that going there vs a mom and pop school with college on the side will suffice just fine (heck, you could get a seniority number, (pre COVID at least) a lot faster by waiting till the regionals to do college online) while spending probably just 25 cents on the dollar, if that!
I mean has ERAU brainwashed young aviations and parents THAT much? I'd love to hear any explanation from anyone, because I sure as heck can't figure out why.
