I've been looking at options for getting an ATP in college and I'm looking at Embry-Riddle, EKU, and FIT. I've also considered going into the military and getting flight training. I'm most concerned about the cost. I sure my parents and scholarships could afford the base tuition but the extra $60,000 in flight costs is concerning. I want to know what the best option would be to ultimately achieve my goal.
Thanks!
Here's a big thing I didn't see anyone mention (sorry if they did): keep your nose clean.
Don't do drugs, don't drink then drive, don't drive like an *******. The less hits you have on your background the easier it is to get employed by the military or the airlines.
