Not necessarily... What I am indicating is that just because your ticket has the same ratings on it doesn't mean you necessarily received comparable training...

Trust me, the FBO route leaves out a LOT of stuff that the large 141 schools cover... I trained at Riddle but worked at a small part 61 school... I have seen both sides of the equation...

From your experience that might be true, but that is definitely not the case for ALL flight schools. There's always two sides to the situation. It seems like when you say something it's fact. I believe in most situations that you can get better training at a Part 61 school than going to ERAU! The difference in Cost would be quite significant.

Keep in mind when comparing the cost of Riddle to other options... The best way to compare this is to price out Flight Training at a Large Part 141 School (Say perhaps the Flight Safety Academy) and then add in the cost of a Bachelor's Degree at a National Renowed PRIVATE University...

My guess is you won't see that much of a cost disparity...

When comparing it like that your probably right. But I can go to a state school(UCLA, Berkeley, Cal Poly, etc.) and get a better education than ERAU. I bet my state school will have a better reputation in the working world too. Better yet I can go to Community college for the first two years and save a butt load of money, live at home and then go off to a world renowned California State School!

I can then get my training done at a good Part 61 school (believe it or not there are some great ones out there that would blow the doors of ERAU anyday). I would be saving thousands of dollars over going to ERAU. I would end up with a better education seen from the eyes of the working world and my flight training would be comparable if not better than flying at ERAU.

Just something to think about. There is always another side . But again one side isn't the "be all". Not trying to create any problems. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
