Harvard of Aviation...my ass. Rip-off of Aviation is completely accurate! Don't insult the world by comparing Riddle with Harvard. Compared to Harvard, Riddle would be lucky if they get categorized as a local community college.
Embry-Riddle tuition translates to invaluable networking... Any Riddle folks out there want to help a guy with 460TT/101ME to get a flying job? Yeah, I didn't think so. Embry-Riddle's CAPT program couldn't get me a job with their bullsh!t networking, what makes you think anyone out in the industry is going to do better? I think not.
Regionals care that you have flight experience. They don't care where you got it from. Frankly, the guy with less financial problems would take the low pay scale a lot better than some Riddle guy that owes the banks their right testicle.
