R-ATP wouldn't normally be that big of a deal, but it depends on what's going on with the industry when you're ready for the airlines. If regional hiring is competitive (it is at the moment), then it won't matter as much, since more applicants will tend to higher time anyway.
But it also matters *who* they are hiring, if it's mostly people from cadet type channels, then maybe you need to be involved in one of those, and I assume they are more available at a 141 university (but maybe it doesn't matter where you train as long as you attend the university).
As we start down the flight training, college search process, what I’m discovering in my son is he wants to fly planes, but he also wants to pick his own major. Not aviation management or similar. This throws RATP out the window, but opens other training paths. I am worried about getting flight training down while studying for a non aviation major,,,,
