Are you kidding me? I went to Louisiana Tech for only 60k (it was that high despite being out of state) for all four years, got the degree, all of my time (900 hrs in the same kind of aircraft ERAU has), got glass time, multi time (about 50 in a 2005 king air 200),and a job through our alumni program (mesaba crj 900). Tech is the only other part 142 certified program in the nation other then erau and has the same exact simulator. What could possibly cost that much? You don't need to spend a trillion dollars to get your education, the HR people at the airlines really don't care if you went to the very best school, only if you are able to fly.
