Default MBA to facilitate career change

I'd like to find out if anyone has recently used an MBA to help them make the jump from the flight deck to the business world (I'm interested in social enterprise and strategic mgmt). I've been researching a few part-time programs, but as I talk to more and more students and alumni, I'm starting to realize that the career services offered to part-time students may not be enough for someone who's looking to switch careers. Any opinions on part-time vs. full-time programs and the debt, opportunity costs, etc. associated with each?

Also, have any FOs succesfully navigated the application process to some of the more selective programs? I'm having a hard time integrating quantitative measures into my work experience ("100% pass rate" and "no accidents or incidents" doesn't really seem to cut it)

Any thoughts/opinions /insights appreciated.
Thanks
