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.

Alright, this strikes a chord with me here. Not that I sing the praises of ERAU, but that you're making huge assumptions about the nature of flight training at particular schools without actually attending them. I also think it's bad form to start refuting senior posters (FalconCapt) based on your own beliefs, instead of your own knowledge.

There are those of us that do have some legitimate problems with the ERAU flight program based upon experience. That is not an invitation to everyone else to jump on the bandwagon and start bashing ERAU based upon what they've heard.

This doesn't just apply to ERAU, but to every flight school out there. If I just started bashing DCA (I've never attended) without actual experience there, what would that make me?

Guys, stick to what you know and not what you believe.
