That's WAY TO MUCH FREAKING MONEY...holy heck where is America heading? And how do people continue to go to ERAU for those costs?!?
I know a guy whose nephew goes to FIT for their flight program. The kid's parents sold their house, and the father took an extra job in order to help pay the tuition. The reason the kid goes there is become some airline pilot told them that going to a University Flight Program is the only way to be a successful airline pilot.

I educated the guy I know, who in turn tried to talk to his brother about it. This apparently caused a family rift, and they don't talk so much any more. Last I heard, the kid wanted to quit and fly helicopters.
