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.

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.

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!
