Set yourself up for success in the future. Get your BA...It's not a systemwide requirement now, and may not be for a while..but you are heavily favored WITH IT..than without.

I've heard good and bad about ATP..i personally didn't go there..i was a DCA schlub, but i have heard that ATP is DEAD on with their estimates..and they get you done quickly. With that being said don't be in too much of a rush, that you learn the bare minimum to pass your checkride. The PTS does not contain nearly everything you need to know before beginning an airline career. Take your time, enjoy your current freedom, enjoy college and have fun flying!

Happy skies my friend, good luck.

P.S. NETWORK yourself at that FBO..you can get an "in" in a corporate job if you do a good enough job of meeting and being friendly.

P.P.S...nice avatar..pats all the way
