Embry Riddle CAPT

[DKM]

ACA's Director of Operations visited Embry Riddle CAPT today and said he can't wait to start hiring CAPT grads in... 2006 !

WOW the students that start CAPT in Sept 2005 must be so excited... Wait that's 2 years away, and it will be Independence Air by then right?

CAPT still has not found anyone to speak to the current students that are willing to hire them... Watch out future CAPT students.

Current Embry Riddle CAPT students better start working on that CFI... That's a lot of down time from now till 2006.

Anybody else having integrity and/or program problems, like those pointed out at www.captiscrap.com , with any of the other PFT schools like the Embry Riddle CAPT students are?

I considered ERAU when I was looking into Colleges; but the price scared me away.

I had considered ERAU a few years ago. I had been a dean's list student at my locall CC, and hoped to find "scholarship" money. The 25 year old student recruiter had assured me that such money was available, and he probably thought so, since he dealt with so many teenage mothers who are marginal students ("C" students, no less) and there is plenty of money for them. For me? Nada.

The word "scholarship" has become synonymous with "social engineering", where it is a matter of what special interest group you fall into, not what kind of "scholar" you might be. No money for middle aged white guys with 3.75 averages.

So, no scholarship, no ERAU. Could I earn my way through as a flight instructor? Well, unlike other college "staff" positions, there was so little free credit time for staff members as to be laughable. Maybe the basic notion is that a flight instructor is just another student, and not a "professional." Sound familiar?

So, there is no surprise to me that ERAU has put together this program. Well-funded students and other eligible "scholars" are welcome. People with little money and and high GPAs, or older than your twenties and the chances go way down.

The question for you is this: will you be taken in by this nonsense?
