Default Re: Future Flight Training Decisions...

Wow, this is a true jetcareers success story. I am happy for you.

I am glad you chose to get a 4 year college degree. I keep telling people that getting an education is the best thing you can do in your life, and you will not regret it. It is required to have a successful flying career, so I am glad you chose to get your 4 year college degree before you do anything else.

I am also glad that you were able to do some research and decide not to drop $70,000 on ATP (totally unnecessary). I did the same thing you are doing (found a cheap local club). You will save yourself $30,000-$40,000 on the pricetag (or much much more in interest if you were planning on getting a loan). I guarantee this will make the beginning of your career as an airline pilot much more manageable than those who blindly took out a massive loan and went to ATP.

Congratulations on your success and good luck with your degree and flight training.
