Regional Airline Academy

[ArcticFlier]

My wife's cousin is looking to get into aviation. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this school.

Regional Airline Academy

I know absolutely nothing, other than what's on the web site.


Thanks,

My best recommendation would to use Mr Searchy and see what you can find on it. It's been beat to death pretty good here.

A brief overview of the general consensus, don't go!

 

[Flechas]

I second that, don't go.

User997, I think I'm falling in love with you avatar!

I actually got my commercial ticket at Regional Airline Academy. It was a good experience and they got me through it fairly quick. I am a student at Embry Riddle and fly off campus for $$ reasons and I found them to be the best.

Well I am happy to here this , I also was plannig on joining them in less than a year. By the way do anyone know if there are flying or pilot scholarships? or federal help for someone to become a airline pilot?
Hey flechas ur avatar is cool man jejeje.

Hi, what about living costs and housing costs what do u do there,how do u handle that. I mean is it ok what they offer? whats ur personal experience about this also? thanks

I live in Daytona Beach which is about 15 min away from Deland (RAA). They don't offer housing but there is plenty of it around here and many of the students there are roommates with each other to keep costs down. If you have a loan with them they will give you what you need for housing.

Flechas, your abusive wine drinking doesn't jive with the chick in my avatar!

 

[Flechas]

She doesn't need to drink, she looks great already!

(whispering) Hey flech, just tell her it's Koolaid! You'll be in like sin!

(whispering)

...what does that mean?..."I can't, I'm Mormon."?

 

[Gearmunky]

Sorry but User997 has the best avatar on flight info!

I tried that already with one chick, and she started talking about work rules and paycuts, I had to leave her alone, never saw her again....

 

[User546]

Don't get me preaching in here...

...what does that mean?..."I can't, I'm Mormon."?

"I Can't, I'm Mormon" is poking fun at mormon chicks because they are typically very straight-laced, and there idea of wild and kooky is usually along the lines of taking 11 items to the 10-item line at Walmart, or watching a PG-13 movie! Ohhh, we're going to get into like sooo much trouble Susan if our bishop finds out!!!

As a rule of thumb, these chicks are VERY RARELY bent from their ways or give in to what goes against their church's beliefs.

So you can imagine what a blast these chicks would be on a layover!

FINE PRINT ON BOTTOM OF SCREEN:
And I'm in NO WAY knocking the LDS religion! You guys are great people, and we're all entitled to our religious beliefs. This is all about fun on here!

Aside from using Mr. Searchy, try dropping a PM to our member, lowtimeguy.

Tell your wife's cousin to beware of any school that advertises "guaranteed regional airline interviews" and these kinds of claims: "In as little as 14 months, an individual can go from Zero Time to an Airline Job."

Writing proactively, no, MAPD, does not "guarantee" an interview with Mesa. "The interview" may be yours to lose, but you still have to earn it.

There are better flight training choices in Florida, such as FlightSafety Academy. Even Pan Am would be better than RAA.

100 % with bobysamd, if I could go back and do it all over again, I would have gone to my local FBO and a state university, or to FSI and a state university.

Don't get me wrong I do go to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University but, I flew at RAA to get my licences because of cost and I thought they were very good and professional.
