I would suggest against going to an aviation school... it makes no difference.

I started working on my private in high school, and got it summer after I graduated. I went to Florida State and got my instrument my freshman year. Summer after my freshman year, I got my Commercial Multi-engine. Sophomore year, school was crazy so I couldn't fly as much, but got most of the work for my CFI's done. Got my CFI/CFII/MEI the summer after my soph year, and got hired at the FBO in Tallahassee when I came down for college to start my junior year.

The company quickly started using me for charter work as well as CFIing, so I was able to snag King Air, Navajo, and Saratoga time. I worked basically 7 days a week my junior and senior year and graduated (degree in Philosophy/minor in Geology) on time with 1500 hours.

I got picked up by Pinnacle (with about 1700 hours and 350 multi-engine) later that year, and made CRJ captain a year and a half after that.

I flew as captain for about 2 years, and got picked up by Delta after that with 5000 TT time and about 2000 jet PIC.
