Jet University questions
I am a completely new pilot hopeful and have several questions particularly for students/grads of Jet U:
1) How difficult is the training? What does the average day at school look like? Schedule, hours, etc?
2) Does $38K plus $7500 for CRJ transition seem like a decent price to pay for such training?
3) Is getting an airline job without a college degree a complete impossibility?
4) How does if work if one is more interested in flying cargo planes VS airline?

I am 25. Yes I searched a few threads pertaining to this school but could not find anything pertaining to what the schedule is like.
Do you think $38K is a good price for private, instrument, multi, and commercial ratings?

Depends. How many hours do you finish with? How many of those are multi? What type aircraft are they using? How much more for CFI, CFII, MEI? You're almost unemployable aside from instructing with a fresh commercial ticket unless you know someone or get really lucky. I'll plug my old flight school. Prairie Air Service, Inc. I've heard the prices on the site are not up to date but they are worth at least a phone call. I bet you could go PPL thru MEI there for 38K or less.
Here is part of what the recruiter emailed me:
We just received approval from the FAA under part 141 to get you your rating for Pvt/IFR/CPL/M/E in as little as 151 hrs—making the cost only $38,000—Can also reduce the time needed to get those ratings----- If you then go into the CRJ Fast Track ( 5 weeks ) that cost $7,500—for total of $45,500
I have no interest in instructing so that puts a large roadblock.

$38k is a huge deal... think long and hard about spending it. If you think about the total hours, 151 hrs, which is about $225/hr with checkrides, tests, etc... that kind of sucks. Also, ask the people if they have paid their flight instructors recently... a large school next to me hasn't paid in like two weeks, now the instructors refuse to work - it is possible the students could loose their money.
