Two big reasons I chose DCA -
Comair - Delta's backing
Direct Regional track
@ 39 I figure I don't have too many years to build time and wait for interviews.
Brother...i checked ATPs prices - they are not as high as DCA, not even close...reconsider going to DCA...Delta is not doing that well, and i'm not sure how many more pilots will be hired by the regionals. i'll be honest - i don't know what people mean by direct regional track...i may be too much of a cynic, but nothing in this world is direct - you always have to pay, with money / years out of your life committed to goal.....ATP has a solid reputation and they are closer to where you live - take the longer course , you may not like the flying once you are doing it for pay...from what others have said you have lots of option in vegas for flying jobs after training and that home life is priceless- i wouldn't disrupt it...
Remember - it stops being the dream job once you are getting a showtime and paid...then its a job...and starting out it does not pay that well...
my two cents worth...sincerely hope i didn't ruffle any feathers...
