I got my masters through a traditional program while I was flying for a fractional. It was challenging in many ways. First, I explained to my professors that I could not attend every lecture and important exam dates due to the nature of my work. I was very fortunate to have understanding and cooperative professors. I made friends with classmates who shared lecture notes, and I went to my professors' office hours to do make up exams and ask questions about lecture topics. Second, I had to relearn how to read academic material and write research papers. I did most of my school work in hotel rooms and pilot lounges. Also, it was physically and mentally exhausting at times, but I did my best to get through the program. It took me 3 years for a 2 year program, and I filed for a tax credit through American Opportunity Tax Credit. Whatever your situation and/or motivation, I say go for it. Wish you the best.
