Should I quit ROTC and go the civilian route
I am a Sophmore in Air Force ROTC, and I am currently a professional flight management major working on my instrument rating. Ever since the start of my 200 year in AFROTC, I have been considering dropping the program. I am really losing interest in joining the military after college and thinking about just going the civilian route to becoming an Airline Pilot. My original plan was to get my instrument rating at the end of this year and switch my major to aviation management because if I am able to get a pilot slot through ROTC I would let Uncle Sam pay for the rest of my pilot training. After doing a lot of research and reading online I am considering dropping AFROTC and continue getting all of my ratings/certificates at school and try to land a job with a regional airline after graduation.
What are the Pros and Cons of taking the civilian path to the Airlines?
