Best advice. Overtime is like "crack"; once you do it and get used to it, there is no hope for you. Dont get tempted!!!!

I fly with people, who can not fly less than 90 hours a month.

Enjoy your life and congrats. You busted your rear!

Thanks - Baja.

I think Utah Valley University offers generous credit for flying ratings towards a degree in aviation in their online program.

They do offer quite a bit for "life experience" and also if you have an Associates degree they waive their general ed requirement. You could realistically be done with about 8-10 classes depending on what you come in with. You do need to do at least 30 credits with them to graduate.

Also, I researched around and you will not find a better deal money wise per credit. When I did it, it was ~170$ a credit.

From what it sounds like the hiring wave has started and will go for another 5-10 years?

For someone just getting their ratings it seems I could be on the very end or even miss the hiring wave all together while trying to building time CFI, regional, etc.

How is my timing? Good, bad, who knows, time will tell?

You all have much more experience and wisdom and i'd appreciate any responses.

If this post is inappropriate for this thread I apologize.
