Hello all aviators. This is my first post in this for Forum. I am 27yr old an recently(September 2017) started pursuing my dream.( pilot) I am currently at a “mom&pop” FBO. Attempting to obtain my PPL. I do intend on making a career out of this. As this is the first step to my future career I have questions. Main question being how should I go about finishing my training. I’ve scoured the Internet for answers and they are all up and down about what is the best solution after my PPL. I do understand what is best for someone else may not be best for me. I’ve heard ATP is a great fast route yet the closest one is 2hrs away from my home/family. I also have heard they are a pilot mill an who doesn’t truly hate being seen as a number. I’ve been told go get a degree( associates) from the local CC that has ties to my current FBO. I’ve also been told just stick where I am an complete all necessary rating. My current school is part 141 certified if I’m saying that correctly. So I could possibly get some form of financial aid. I’m not stressing yet but the future is fast approaching an I would hate to misstep an use hindsight if you know what I mean. Thanks in advance.
