Help me out make a decision
So my current situation is I've been flying for AA as a flight attendant for the past 10 years. I recently decided to change my career and persue flight school to get all my ratings. My training start date is april 1st. This wasnt an easy decision because as most of you know seniority in the airlines is everything and after 10 years of busting my a** for AA as a FA I finally had a good income, good schedule, weekends/holidays off, 15+vacation days a year, etc. Now I've heard and read so many different opinions regarding regional airlines such as the flow program, if you need a degree or not(which I dont have), if 33 years old is too old or not ( my cutrrent age). The flight schools make it sound all but too easy to achieve your ultimate goal which is too fly for a major airline one day. Pretty much what they're telling us and please confirm is this is true or not is the following "if you start your training today in 9 months you'll get all your ratings done, in 12/18 months you'll work as a cfi and build up your 1500 required hrs to work for a regional airline. You'll definelty get hired by ANY regionals without a Degree since regionals dont require one. You'll spend about 2 years as a FO and 2 Years as a Captain at regional with an average of 5 years at the regionals level thru a flow thru program before getting promoted to a Major. Start pay at regionals is 50$ and around 80$ as captain" and so on. Now I know this specific example is mainly based on AA flow thru program regional airlines that carry it (psa envoy and piedmont) and from my understanding if you want to make it to the majors without a degree this is the only way. I could never afford a 4 year degree after spending around 100k $ on my flight training. I'm still very undecided about my decision and I could still back out of it so please enlighten me a little bit and help me out realized what I need to do here. Thank you.
