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?

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.
