Is there something wrong with that? He’ll finish in 2 years, build time instructing at a busy school and get his ATP at 1,250 hours and be at a regional by age 45. That gives him a 20 year airline career. He’ll retire with flight benefits for life. He’s making a good investment and tackling a lifelong dream at the same time. It sounds like a good plan to me.
As far as Mercer goes, it’s a great school. Lots of people who went there less than ten years ago are already at Delta, JetBlue, Spirit, Etc. Some go on to exploit the big money in the NYC/PHL metro area and fly corporate.
You’re at a good spot. Being to big for ATP is a blessing for you
