Seems like more of a plug for Embry Riddle than anything. The other stuff's been rehashed for years now.

Hahaha. Schools that charge an exorbitant amount for tuition are somehow the solution to the insurmountable costs of flight training. Seems plausible.

I very distinctly remember reading an article from ERAU like three years ago talking about how there is no pilot shortage.....

ERAU only says there is a pilot shortage when "admissions are low."

Yep-

That fooled a lot of us.

Something ALWAYS happens to screw it all up.

Yeah, when American Airlines hires 1 out of every 100 applicants there's quite a shortage!
