Question ATP vs. RAA??

Sorry if there is another post on this already. I have decided that I really want to do ATP's 60 day and continue to their 90 day. Just as I am about to go through the interview process I started looking at RAA. Does anyone have any experience with RAA? Heard any good or bad things about them? How does their program compare with ATP's? Thanks for any info.

Go with ATP.

Atp makes you a MEI, RAA doesnt. RAA gives you a type rating and a commercial certificate, and your on your own.

I myself, when i get to that stage, am doing ATP.

Don't give Regional Airline Academy the time of day...your employer is supposed to pay for the type, not Key Bank. If you've got the $$ then go to RAA, but if you're taking out a loan (like EVERYONE else) go to ATP. Best bang for the buck compared to RAA.

and Ari-Ben and Skymates also seem like good choices, Skymates being my preference. Or you could just keep flying a hobby like me.

Thanks for all the info, ATP has always been my first choice. The only reason I started thinking about RAA was because I had never heard of it and didn't really know what was going on with it. Never heard anything to bad about ATP and have now heard nothing but bad things about RAA so I guess that makes sorta makes up my mind.
Oh Yeah and Texguy GO TROJANS! BOO Vince Young!
