ERAU Flightline Destroyed, Millions in Damages
Wasn't a very merry Christmas in Daytona Beach.

Keep in mind those are all nearly-brand new aircraft, full certified GPS, ADS-B...enough to make you want to cry.
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground:

Wondered how long it would take for someone to play the "spoiled aviation college" brat card...C-FABH wrote: And with the tuition those kids pay, I'm not shedding a tear.

So you'd pay out of your pocket to help ERAU purchase new aircraft???grammar boy wrote:Wondered how long it would take for someone to play the "spoiled aviation college" brat card...
The only things these students have lost is their semester and flying time... and for that, quite unfortunate. College students don't need sex, as the college fucks them all the time (in this case, mother nature too)

I know! I know! I feel your pain because I almost got sucked into ERAU. In fact, I almost took that $120 000 US loan that was suppose to come in at $30 000/yr. FABH, the ERAU issue for me is like Cat Driver and TC. They have such an incredible marketing tactic of attacking high schoolers who are young and determined to break into the aviation industry. This was a few years ago when I came to the conclusion that I wanted to become a pilot and no one would stop. My mentor was making some $350 000+ at Air Canada, and if he could do it then I could do it. Yes, it would be more challenging for me, but a life without challenge is no challenge at all. Embry Riddle was telling me about completing my flight training with 200 hrs. and buy these things... what are they called? Oh yes, thats right... PPC! I would purchase this gift and they would help me to gain permanent residency, which they couldn't promise but it was worth a shot. "Upon completion, you can be flying a 747 for a legacy carrier shortly. You should be able to pay that $120 000 within 3-5 years at the rate of which you're getting payed." An instructor called me shortly after and told me... "Please don't do it! Starting pay for flying a jet at Mesaba is $18 000/yr." That had to be the shocker of my life!C-FABH wrote:And with the tuition those kids pay, I'm not shedding a tear.200hr Wonder wrote:Damn but it was more than likely all insured... hope no one was hurt.

And you're right. Sun still shine, my broken English/drunk while posting friend.
I don't give a flying cock about the ERAU kids and their rich parents. Any twisted airframe makes me cringe. Even these.
In Soviet Russia, plane fly you.

Amazing what people think about Riddle! C'mon people, don't tell me you wouldn't wanna go if you could afford it?
Being a grad myself and far from a rich parents kid (was there long before it got so expensive), I'll try not to take it personal.
