BTW, airlines could care less where you went to flight school.
How long ago was it that you attended? Because I heard that it used to suck but that its a pretty good school now and that they dont have that "trailer park" anymore. Yea i keep hearing about getting a degree in something else other than aviation but i dont really like anything else. I have a friend who does sign language and says he doesnt make a fortune but it pays ok. Its only a 2 year thing if i want to do that and its fairly easy to get a job interpreting. The only thing is that i dont think that would help me as far as having a degree when i apply for airlines. I can only get an associates if i decide to do that. And around how much does it cost to get your certificates at an FBO. And if i do it like that i would have to borrow the money and its around 50k isnt it? how do i PM you? I think i read that i had to have been a member of this forum for a while to do that. Is that true? I really appreciate your help man thanks!!
