RAA is by far the most expensive of the academies. They make you get an RJ type rating which is totally unnecessary, and a waste of over $20k.
I would do your training at an FBO near your home. You don't have to move.

My recommendation would be to do your licenses and ratings at an FBO. It will save you at least $20,000 (Perhaps 30-50k at RAA) for the same training. At an academy, you will pay $55 an hour for instruction. At an FBO you will pay about $35 an hour for instruction. The flip side, when you want to instruct to timebuild, acadmies will only pay you $14 an hour. The FBO will pay you $25-35 an hour. BIG DIFFERENCE! At an academy, you will pay $105 for an old cessna, while at an FBO you will pay $80-90 for an old cessna. At an academy you will pay over $200 an hour for a multi, while those cost about $150 at an FBO. As crazy as these prices are, the place where these academies make their money is ground school. If you take the hours of ground school divided by the total cost, it works out to like $20 an hour for a class of 10-20 people. That's too much! And $20 is a very conservative number. At American Flyers, it is $80 an hour for classroom instruction. That is more than classes cost at Harvard on Stanford!!!
Also, at RAA they make you get an RJ type rating that costs a STAGGERING $20,000+. This is unnecesary. There is absolutely no need for this. When you get hired at any airline, they will pay for you to get this type rating. Do not pay your own money for a type.

That is why I recommend an FBO over an airline academy. It is much cheaper, you will make more money, and the training can be accomplished in the SAME amount of time. Find an instructor who is available 7 days a week, and who does not have a busy schedule. Tell him how often you want to fly, and schedule plenty in advance, so you can fly as often as you are able. FBO's are the way to go.
