Hello everyone! Here are my plans on becoming an airline pilot, what I eventually want to become.

Right now, I am 16 and a Junior in High School in Rhode Island. I want to start flight school down at the local FBO (KSFZ) to get my Private Pilot's License within the next 2 years. After high school, I plan on going to college (Rhode Island College) for 4 years (which is the minimum for some airlines) but I don't have to major in anything specific. So, I was thinking about going to college to become a Technology Teacher in a High School. During the summers I would have off, I would be able to build up hours get the additional ratings I would need. I might get out of teaching to spend more time getting ratings and certified and building time, and become an instructor at a local FBO where some of my teaching skills might come in handy. After I had 1000 hours total time and reached Cape Air's minimum, I could become a first officer there and eventually a captain and stay there for a few years. Then after I had the minimums to get into either a regional or major domestic airline, I would apply at one that had domiciles near my home at either Providence, RI or Boston, MA, both of which are short drives from here. I would love to fly for Southwest, but the nearest domicile from here is BWI... JetBlue does have a domicile here in Boston, but I've never liked Airbus's... lol. I can always look into that later, but I do not want to relocate out of the Southern New England area...

I was thinking about going to an academy, but I think I would have more flexibility (even if it takes longer) with FBO's... I'm not sure though.

How does my plan sound? I am looking for suggestions, advisories, etc. on the whole route.

Thanks,
Nick
