4 year aviation science or aerosim?
Hello everyone, im Zach
Im currently in a 4 yr aviation science program and having alot of fun flying. But recently I have been checking out some other flight schools and noticing I could be taking some other better routes to reach my goal of becoming a Airline Pilot. So the other day I found Aerosim. I noticed immediately that I receive double the amount of ratings and flight hours in a year than I would in 4 years at my college. Here's how I was looking at things.
Im now 19.
Graduating after 4 years in college and having a degree in aviation science. I will have my PPL, IR, Commercial and CFI. and only 250-300TT.
If I do the 1yr program at Aerosim. I will probably finish up before I turn 21.Graduate from their program with around 400TT . PPL, IR, Commercial in Single and Multiengine. CFI, CFII, and have a chance of getting a job with them. Than after that flight instructing and earning a associates degree until I turn 23 to join a regional.
To me it seems as though I will be way ahead of the game if I did aerosim. When I graduate the college with only 250-300TT I will still have to grind for a couple of years and work on ME time aswell since my college doesnt offer it. So that means I will probably be around 25 26 yrs old before I can join. If I did aerosim I would be more than ready to join a airline at 23 than if I graduated with the degree.
I kind of summarized everything up here because I am on my phone. But thoughts and ideas would be great!
