VanDriver208 Thanks for the advice but I live in Jersey, and nothing is cheap here!!! plus no flight schools. Unfortunately the way the flight program is structured makes it difficult to "major" in another subject, plus its my opinion that aviation jobs will start to materialize around the time he graduates. He is currently pursueing his PPL and should have it before he starts.
Emb170Man, you hit the nail on the head, those new rules are a game changer and the kids going to "approved 141 college programs" will have an advantage. It will be very difficult to hit the job market with 250 hours TT with a little MEL time and work your way up to the 1500 hours!
