Thanks for the responses!

JMT21: I play rep hockey and I've already talked to UND about their flight dept and athletics. I like what I've heard so far and will probably take a tour of the campus this summer. Thanks for the info on their aviation dept.

rickair7777: don't get me wrong, I'd love to stick with flying for my career. I dont think I'd ever get bored of it and the travelling/exploring different countries out of N.A. would be the biggest attraction for me. A managment pilot sounds interesting, could you elaborate on the position?

BURflyer: Believe me! I've flown out of FFZ around the P50 in the summertime. Coming from Canada, during university, I'd probably come home during those summer months (may-august)...its just too hot!!

BROKE CFI: Wow! thats incredible, thanks for the insight.

Flying Ninja: Thanks Flying Ninja, and no, sadly I dont have that $90,000 to blow on ERAU. I like your plan...a non-aviation degree (MBA maybe) and work on my flight training with a CFI on the side. I'll watch out for CAPT


Another question....what about a EJA/NJ charter type "airline". I always see EJA's Cit.Xs, Hawker 800s or Learjets fly into YYJ carrying celeb's and exec's, mostly in the film industry.

Can someone explain the major differences between a charter like ExecJet/Netjets, a LCC (like Westjet or Southwest) and a national/legacy/intl carrier (like ACA, UAL, AAL and COA)

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question.

Thanks again
