Wondering why everybody hates riddle?
Hey fellas I just have this question that is just bothering the heck out of me, that being why does everyone hate on ERAU?
Ev'e heard that the guys coming out on there are stuck up and all kinds of other things. I graduated from ERAU while still serving in the ARMY and from what I gather the school took very good care of me. Then again I did not attend the campus, everything I did was at whatever military intallation I was stationed at.
Any reason?

For me, it's the way they mislead high school kids into thinking ERAU is THE way to a lucrative major airline job. It's the marketing BS.
Flight training at Riddle was overpriced and was only marginally better than my FBO. A degree in aviation is only a good choice if you have no other options.

These are great guys and girls, I have personally not met the stereotypical attitude-punk riddle grad. My dislike for riddle is based on the fact that they rip people off...but I don't dislike the grads for getting ripped off, they didn't know any better when they signed up.

Thanks guys

You're not doing anyone any favors recommending ERAU based on the decades-old experiences of yourself and your peers. You know full well the dynamic has changed, and you weren't paying anywhere near the 1991 equivalent of $25,490 a year for tuition alone.

gee...let's see....new hire bridge programs...career resource center...web based resume referral service...job fairs..which i used to do for FDX and a few riddle guys who i met at them r here now...go to joes flying school and see if u get that...most guys i knew when i was there did not take advantage of the resources that r there..i did! but if u think u r not worth 25 grand a year than who am i to argue...those 96 grads who i talked to at the job fair who i helped get hired here think it was worth it...
