I attended ERAU during the summer and even though its a good school and the flight line is by far the most organized I have seen, it just is not worth the extra money. If you have money to spare and want to major in aviation then sure, you could consider it, but otherwise, don't go. They increased their prices for renting an plane while I was there and they are bringing in new Diamond DA-42s with the piston engines. It sounds good, but it only means you will pay even more for them in the long run.

You don't need to learn in the G1000 cessnas to be an airline pilot, in fact, i would recommend also learning on the conventional panel but at riddle, you don't have a choice unless you get into the flight team in order to fly a 150.

I decided to attend Parks College at SLU. The school is amazing and allot more diverse than ERAU. Infact, there are more girls than guys at the school. I haven't gone to the flight line at SLU, but it definitely isn't as big as the ERAU flight line, however, whats important are the aircraft and they use Diamonds which costs very little to rent. They also have Glass Cockpit arrows and Seminoles. The airport is located under class Bravo so its good practice. I major in Aerospace Engineering and minor in flight. Its a part 141 program so you get the same hours. They where also the first flight school in the US. I think you should check SLU out if anything.

Either way, good luck wherever you end up.
