I've been looking at which regional to go to. Envoy, Piedmont, or PSA? Looking at doing the cadet program at whichever one I go to, to help with this student loan. Currently 20 years old and flight instructing. I have my four-year degree and my end goal is to fly to American. What're your opinions?

 

Go to Endeavor 😂

 

Lol

In all honesty, Envoy is a solid pick right now because we are growing. You won’t see as high of pay here currently since we keep getting guys through the door. I was a cadet as well so I understand where you’re coming from as well as the destination to American which is pretty awesome. But just keep in mind if money is a factor for you then neither WO is a good choice at the moment.

You’ll most likely get the 175 since that’s what most classes are offering but beware there are random 145 only classes that have been dished out, if fleet is a deciding factor for you.

Reserve time, the closest you’ll be off is around 6 months if you are 175 in ORD. Elsewhere it’s longer but also reserve time is variable so also keep that in mind.

We have a very solid training program in my opinion. I had no delays whatsoever.

Hope this helps!

 

Go into the military, get a flying slot, get to AA before you would by being at a WO regional. Seriously. You're looking at 8-9 years before you'd flow.

 

Go into the Airforce active duty fly fighter jets or C-5’s. Specifics are better because you could go to the army get a flying slot and fly helicopters. Then you would be at a regional even after the military.

 

You’re 20 and ready have a four year degree? That’s pretty impressive.

 

I was thinking the same thing. To get a 4 year degree in two years you’re looking at 21 credit semesters.

That in and of itself is doable, but how would you manage to get your ratings at the same time?

 

Its possible, I gradjiated in 3 years with a bachelors just before my 21st birthday. All ratings except private while maintaining a job.

 

A lot of states have programs that let you take community college courses in high school. In Washington State it’s called Running Start. You can get a lot of the basic freshman and sophomore college core requirements out of the way and a two year associates degree by the time you graduate from high school and if you pick the right corses pretty much all the credits transfer. The downside is that you then start college as a junior and will need to IMMEDIATELY declare a major, at least at the state schools. Still, for someone really sure where you are going in life, it does get you graduated by age 20.

 

Hey if doogie wants to come here, let him come here .
