Like 85%!!! An insane record.

This is too funny....
The people that bash ANY aviation school are usually the ones that didn't make it into any of them. Call it jealousy, envy, whatever......
As far as ERAU being only for "Rich Snobs", I paid my own way through and am still paying for it. Many of my friends who went there also paid their way through THEMSELVES. Not possible you say? Well that just goes to show how dumb both of you really are. I call myself resourceful. I wanted to go there and found the means to do so (including working two jobs while I was there).
I don't go around bragging about where I went to school or how "great" a school that ERAU is. I have great respect for all of the aviation colleges and their grads, not just mine.
I will agree that most who "brag" and make a big stink out of it are the ones who did have mom and dad pay for it and they also got a regional job at 250 hours. I don't apologize for their behavior because it really doesn't matter what school you went to at that point. If you have never had a REAL job outside of aviation, then you don't appreciate where you are today regardless of whether you went to ERAU or Community College for your ratings.
Get off of your jealousy kick and suck it up.........Most of our grads are great qualified pilots that have worked hard for their ratings and degree. I don't give a rats a^$$ about an of the flight teams. They don't mean anything when it comes to the quality of the grad. Hell, I can teach a monkey to fly an airplane......
