Sure... (not to sound sarcastic), but finish your UND degree, instruct some (at UND or elsewhere), get on with a regional, fly as a first officer for a few years, upgrade to captain, get 1000+ hours turbine PIC, 4000+ hours total time, and apply.

I know that the picture that Ken and Pete and Kent (and various others) paint of the airline industry up there is rosy and that things are booming... in a way, that is their job- to keep you motivated and keep the money coming in (and I respect them all as professionals and friends), but the real world is a bit less rosy than what it might seem at UND. There are no real short cuts out here...

Study hard, fly harder, enjoy your time, and set some realistic goals for flight time and experience. When you achieve those, set new goals. I'd be more than willing to offer some advice along the way if you would like... ~Josh
