Also CAPT is like everything else at ERAU, much to expensive!
For $80,000 I could go to my local college, get my CFI/MEI, BUY a C-150, fly it for 1200 hours, buy 100 hours in a twin.
After all that, I would meet pt 135 mins, and could start flying for a living.

Yo Seth! How about answering that? It's not a financial question, it's a why should anyone go to CAPT when they can get a lot more bang for their buck elsewhere?

While I haven’t priced buying, operating, and insuring a Cessna 152, your approach is certainly an option to gain 1300 flight hours. I don’t know how much time it would take to get that many hours. Our program is approximately 14 months.
Pilots choose CAPT because of the concentrated, comprehensive academic / flight training program. They receive approximately 1600 hours of instruction. This includes a systematic and disciplined training regimen leading to a type rating in a high-bypass, turbofan, full glass, auto-throttle, autoland jet.
Additionally, they complete the program with their ATP written and dispatcher written.
While CAPT has an excellent program, it is not for everyone. There are a number of very good flight schools. We encourage our applicants to investigate all of the options and seek the training that best suits their needs. Any approach that gets you into the air is a good one.
