The instructors there treated us like we were in an airline training course from day 1, and it was great to see because it washed out people who did not take it seriously right from the get-go. It is a heavily priced course, but it is the culmination of your curiculum at ERAU, if you did everything there, and should be treated as such. Match any Thesis Class to the CRJ course and you will see the same price, albeit those SOB's are making 10X more than we ever will and destroying communitities in the process, but who said anyone ever got into business to be ethical in the first place ?
Pretty close to the GPA but I hope I was hired based on my previous airline experience as a captain and not just because my resume said Riddle. I would like to think the course didn't hurt me to get my job at Skyway though.

Jetpipe I like your quote at the bottom.
