I'm assuming you are 30-31. If so, time isn't extremely critical. If at at all possible, find ways to avoid loans to get your ratings. This is not a career you want to get in debt for. Find ways to pay for each rating as you go, even if it takes you an extra year.
The great thing about the WOFT program is that you can get hired at a regional very quickly with helo time and then build your fixed wing. However, you also have to open to long deployments, and Trump's new world order, wherever that may send you.
I will check out that link then, thanks!
I will post in the "Military" section concerning this as well, thank you for the input. I know that the WOFT is very competative.
I'm 28, so I guess I have more time then I originally thought! I am looking to make a career change, and really enjoy aviation which is why I want to be a pilot. I know Envoy does a program for Military helo pilots, does anyone else that you're aware of?
