Another option I have been looking into is going to a school with Aviation, majoring in something else and getting a minor in proffesional flight.
Also, I live in Colorado and know a lot of people who went or currently go to Air Force Academy, and all agree that it is a fairly sucky environment, plus you are not guranteed a pilot slot. |
not near as bad as it used to be...
and everyone who is pilot qualified and wants to be a pilot gets a pilot slot
