Need advice on flight schools
What are the best flight schools to attend in Florida? It has been my dream to become an airline pilot and I have been infatuated with aviation ever since I took my first flight at the age of eight. I am currently a junior at the University of South Florida studying marketing (backup plan because the airline industry can be unstable at times). I have done a lot of research on different flight schools and their costs and have put ATP flight schools at the top of my list because they seem like they can give me the proper training and provide me with the tools to get my first airline job faster than other schools and at a lower cost (even though it is still very expensive). From what I understand airlines do not necessarily care about what flight school you attended so I do not want to attend ATP because they have a big “name”. Also I have been lucky enough not to have any student debt and will graduate college without any BUT I will need to take out a loan for flight school.

Jolly good show on the business degree best to have a back up plan esp in aviation.
ATP gets the job done if you are on your toes. They will accelerate you within their course at a very fast pace. Its hard dedicated work needed to do ATP whole program.
Lots of schools in FL but be careful about dropping the kind of money many of those want up front. Read many boards before you jump in.

If you're not deadest on the academy path, consider Ns aviation in KHWO. Great place to train, an owner who runs a tight ship, you won't get ripped off, well regulated curriculum and you'll learn a lot.
