also, don't kid yourself. an aviation school is an aviation school and they are a waste of your time.
Just because you went one way doesn't mean that it is the right way or the only way (And yes, that goes for people on the other side of the fence also). And even if in your opinion it is better to do it your way then there is no need to make such a broad, uninformative statement without going in to a little more detail. |

I think you're going to be disappointed when you start flying for a living if that's what you expect most of your layovers to be like.:rolleyes:
Good town Good hotel location Long overnight (highly desireable) Cool FA(s) Cool FO or CA If the other pilot's a big enough dork, the cool FA will probably slam-click to avoid him! |
So, why go to an expensive big ten school? To be honest with you, MOST places you'll ever work really don't care where you went. Aviation and non-aviation. When you get to a Masters level and such, it matters. BA level, it really does not. However, if you DO decide to go to a big ten school, why not U of M? Plenty of flight training aviable in Michigan and its considered a "public Ivy".
The way I look at it though, and they WILL pretty much tell you this, is a good college for a BA is more of a qualifer for graduate school. It does not gain you much at the undergraduate level. |

As stated, its all about networking. ASA came to WMU a few weeks ago, and my instructor has an interview in 2 weeks. These programs show top skills, so companies come to these schools seeking students and not going to these small mom and pop FBO's doing hiring searches. |
He was talking specifically about the Big 10 schools. They're almost as expensive as private school if you're out of state and you're unlikely to get Academic Common Market there. The airlines do know about schools with aerospace programs, but they're still more interested in whether or not they can stand flying with you and if you'll be a liability to the company.
