University Flight Schools Question
My question pertains to schools such as UND and ASU. How many hours do you usually have by the time you graduate? Are you able to get a job out of college at the regionals or do you have to instruct for some time after graduation?

No. No way are you getting hired to fly a part 121 jet aircraft at 200 hours. Regionals = 1500 hours. Universities will bring this number down, but not to 200. Plan on instructing. Enjoy it. It can be fun and it is a useful part of your career. |

I graduated with 201 hours. That was all ratings through CFI-I, but not MEI. I'd estimate that to be about average.

For university flight programs that qualify for the restricted ATP hour reduction, 1000 hours are required. You'll graduate with around 250 hours. At a relatively busy school, you can figure it will be about one year of instructing until you have 1000 total.

Is there anything you can do to start instructing while working on an aviation degree so you graduate with 1000 hours?

The program is also a lot cheaper than ASU or UND (about $65,000 in total flight fees and out of state tuition is about $16,000 for both years). |
