That most applicants who want to go that route can't because it's just that competitive. Or they don't meet the medical requirement. A lot of people would love to go Mil, but there are only so many slots. Further, many are scared of being promised a flight school slot only to end up as a ground/logistics/intelligence etc officer and never see an airplane.

Competition for a flight spot isn't too competitive. I've talked to many AFAC guys that have been guaranteed a flight spot, the AF has even been giving ROTC guys flight spots like crazy

My son is going to Kent State"s Aviation program, Nice school, great program, alot more affordable than ERAU and most important to me, He;s learning to fly in real, challenging weather conditions which I believe is important. Just my Two cents worth.

Yeah Navy has the BDCP or bachelor degree completion program that you can start sophomore year in college. Guarantees a spot at graduation if you qualify and they pay you at E-3 pay for your last 2 years in school.

University Aviation versus Local FBO Training
Another factor to take into account now is the newly required 1500 minimum hours for airline passenger and cargo flying. A bachelor's degree holder in aviation with 1000 hours is exempt from this requirement. If you earned your associate degree via the community college route, additional savings for the 500-hour difference if you earned a bachelor's degree in the field is A LOT!
