Okay, so I just got laid off from my current job and I've been seriously considering getting into the CTi program at Mt SAC in California. If I went through the 1-2 years and got the degree, what are the odds of hire as it stands right now? What does the timetable look like for a CTI grad for hire? I assume not nearly as long as the PUB-NATs? Thanks!

I'm CTI and didn't think it would be as long either. But, I have been waiting just as long as the PUBNATers (is that even a word?) since I have applied. The odds of hire as a CTI, I would say, are really good (however, you will still be waiting). The posting they have for CTI now is open until 9/30. |

3-4 years. But, if a pubnat comes out in between that 3-4 years you can always apply and maybe even get picked up before you get through the program. Thats a long shot at best. I would do the CTI school. |

You then make sure to apply to the next PUBNAT. If you want to stay in CA you have a good chance of getting picked up by putting down CA as your number 1 choice for locatoin. If everything goes smoothly you could have a class date about a year or less from when you apply. | |

That's pretty much what I did. I started my pilot training during the PUBNAT so I had a student license at the time. A few months later I got my private pilot license, just in time for PEPC (even though it didn't make that much of a difference for me). If the FAA doesn't work out, at least you didn't spend a fortune and many years for something non-transferable.
