Embry Riddle Instructor
This may be a dumb question to ask, but do any of you know if working for Embry Riddle as an IP would look good on a resume for regionals? (Obviously we all know it is a very good school and very well known) I’m just curious if Interviewers would look at you different with that type of experience.

It's not special.
It looks the same to them as anything else.
They'll look at you different if you talk about what a great school it is, and how great you are for instructing there.

It’s certainly not going to hinder you at all, just don’t have the mindset that it somehow makes you much better...
Coming from a UND guy who has seen it from our instructors as well.

Did you fly a lot as an IP at UND? Or was it a healthy mix of getting stuck in the sim and ground ?
I come from a smaller college accredited 141 where I did work, but I am a little over halfway to r-atp Mins. I’m just trying to figure out what to expect for hours each month and what I have stumbled across on so far is almost 10 years old.

Tulsa, however, is and was a great town.

Don’t assume that the regional market of a few months ago is what it’s going to look like when things open back up. Jobs may be scarce and any little thing may make the difference in you getting the interview. Embry-Riddle may be a punch line for many of us, but it’s a known quantity, and well structured, and it is noticed when companies aren’t calling every applicant. Good luck to you, very tough time to be breaking into this industry.

In my opinion, every top tier airline wants to know "where you trained" or "how you trained" (beyond Private pilot level) whether they admit it or not. Part 141 school ? which one ? university flight program ? which one ? military flight program ? etc.
they want structured, regimented programs to include your professional flying job on the road to the majors. annual sim events, check rides, etc? in-service training ? safety schools ?
I would do everything you can to make yourself competitive from Day-1.
