Auburn,

I noticed in your post you spoke of finding the “fastest, most beneficial” route to getting to that first job. Unfortunately the reality of the current state of the industry is there is really no reason to hurry because at this point in time there are many more highly qualified pilots than there are available jobs. Taking this into consideration it may be wise to do your training at an FBO as opposed to a large academy. At least to get through your private.

Not knowing your current financial picture, I can’t speak for you, but in my case I feel I’ve made a good choice to attend a part 61 school. I save a lot of money, and also feel that the training I receive is top notch. Please note that I’m not saying this is the best way for everyone, but at least give it some consideration.

Good luck, and welcome to Jetcareers!
