I've paid for her initial PPL, to help her ensure it's the career she wants, after that she's on her own. Im just trying to teach her the value of networking and speaking people that are in the field to gain the most adequate and up to date knowledge.
Thanks.
Anyway here’s my take.
She’s 17 now and in order to be hired by a 121 carrier she needs an ATP for which the age requirement is 21.
That looks like a 4-year degree to me
University with an aviation department and a Major in something not specifically Aviation related.
All the ratings and instruct through college. You can hussle the hours but you can’t grow older quicker.
Out of college at 21-22 with an ATP to a Regional with flow.
Late 20-‘s right seat at a Major.
Mid 30’s Captain at a Major.
