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...

So .. you worked at/trained at every FBO in the nation? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Just because it's a "big" 141 school doesn't mean it's any better (or worse, for that matter) than a mom and pop FBO.

Besides the real "learning" happens in that time between 250 hours (commercial/CFI ratings) and that first "big" job at 1,200+/- hours. That stuff no school can teach you.

I'm a brig fan of the FBO route ... it's as good (or bad) as you, the student, make it. Want to "learn as much as the ERAU" guys? Go buy the same books they're reading and have at it.

Speaking of students ... ahem ... my schedule is awfully barren (and that's a blatant plug at trying to get a student! nothing more nothing less) [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
