Accelerated Flight Schools 2023/24
I'm researching Flight Schools for a Senior in High School who plans to skip college, knock out ratings, and start building hours, with plans to transition to the Airlines at 21 or so. I've been researching All ATP, American Flyers, Skyborne VB, Blueline Aviation, Sling, and others. Open to Airline Cadet programs though they seem elusive to me and I hear they are mostly bottle necked right now. Open to Community Colleges as well since he is so young. Not interested in a four year program or piece meal on our own locally...want some structure and a clear path. If you have recently (or are currently) attending one of these (or any other you'd like to tell me about!) and would be willing to speak to me please DM me. Also happy to read replies on here. Love to hear the good...and bad. I'm an AA pilot, was a CFII for years, and had a full Air Force career, so I know the basics, just want some up to date information.
Thanks!
Thanks!

My oldest started at Sling in San Diego earlier this year. Happy with the program. Good environment there.
They are lower key than ATP which I've heard is like a mill. Also around 20k less for the 0-hero.
They have a ground school class in the mornings and schedulers take care of their flights.

Not much love on this thread. Really hoping to find some reviews of Blueline Aviation. There is not much on APC on them…anybody…Bueller? I’m thinking I’m getting old, new generation of pilots maybe use YouTube, instagram etc more for passing information?

Anyone that tells you they have a program that will get you from zero to hero in ten months may be setting you up for multiple failures.
Do what you can to check out the schools, timing, failure rates, student reviews etc.
