I hope you mean 2010-2011.

I know what you mean though...

Anyway, I'm no expert but I've been down your road. Most people will tell you to get your degree in something other than Aviation. It will bail you out if aviation is in the dumpster like it is... now. Also, getting your ratings through a college is very expensive. However, if money is not a problem for you then I believe you will get very good training through those colleges.

I was enrolled in Southern Illinois Uni's flight program, but decided to take my business elsewhere when I figured out that it would put me out around $70,000. With a low time pilot position, even at a regional, it's going to be extremely tough to make ends meet when you have student loans for $800/month!

There are alternate options, like local FBOs and flying clubs where you can get your ratings cheaper. In my opinion it's all about money when it comes to training because I've heard employers don't care where you get your hours, you just need them, and a lot to be competitive. All ratings are approved through the FAA, so in their eyes it's all the same (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

It really depend on your situation, so fill us in and we can give you some better advice.
