Spoken like a true ERAU alum!!! There are many other options and many are much better than ERAU. Look around before spending all that much on a "made-up" university. Is it even accredited?

No, but I just laugh that they hire peops with like 500 TT and 100 twin. That's safe

Like you are qualified to be flying an airliner around.

you could have 20k hours tt in a 172 but not be qualified to fly a regional jet. You got to start somewhere.

"somewhere" is not starting out in an RJ. Go fly a cheyenne or such for a while before you fly my kids around on a "big jet"

Ive been an instructor for a large regional airline (1800 pilots) for 6 years and I have never seen anyone come through with an RJ type rating.

1500,

which airline - if you don't mind saying. No harm if you wish to keep that to yourself. I'll respect your wishes.

Reason I ask is I would like to keep in touch and get some thoughts / insights from you on getting into 121 world after o retire from the military.

I have 8 years to go before I'm eligible. I'm currently a intel officer at Langley, AFB. I have a PPL.
