1. Yes, but commitments to the military will probably prevent you from building time as fast as a guy whose went to the regionals.
2. If you get here in 8 years, and they haven’t retired them by that point, very high chance of flying the MD.
3. You will build time too slowly with purple runway. Sounds like a good program, but you won’t be as competitive in terms of flight time as the regional guys.
4. Mil guys get on with less time, but besides them, your probably going to need 5,000 ish to start. Just my guess.
5. You definitely could if you take a more aggressive path. I was just discussing this with a coworker a few days ago. Get your ratings as fast as you can and FIRST. Accelerated program like ATP would be best. Make sure you do this somewhere that has great weather too. Get your degree online while you build your time as a CFI and at the regionals. I bet you could make it by 25 as long as that’s your mission and you stick to it. Your gonna have to put relationships, fun toys, and all that stuff on the back burner for a timeline like that to work. But of you can make it happen..$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
