Good Flight School Comparison

Should answer a lot of questions...

Huh,
ATP - The most MEL A/C, the most MEL time and the lowest price.

enough said

Yeah I paid the same amount of money as ATP, and I got a college degree to go with it. Bash state colleges all you want, still sitting better than most.

Pretty narrow spectrum considering all that is out there.

I'm certainly not bashing state colleges. Anyone that doesn't get a non aviation related degree from a four year university is taking a huge gamble (read as making mistake).

I don't know anything about the veracity of the data on that site, only that it may help answer some noob questions...:rolleyes:

I dunno, I actually was told that if you get a degree in something other than aviation, and you fly say for 10 yrs or more or even less and you lose your medical. Since your degree is so old and you have no experience in that field, then it would be pretty hard to get a job with that degree. So it seems to me that you would be screwed either way. I hope I dont lose my medical LOL.:D

It is a narrow spectrum. Still does a good job. I paid as much going to Baylor University.

Okay so here is my thing....my wife = human resource manager which means she hires people and sees hundreds of resumes, works for a non aviation company, and says it doesnt matter what degree you have, just that you have one. So for all those who say that getting an aviation degree is stupid, learn the facts. And for those trying to make a decision, find a source, not a pilot.

I'm not saying an aviation degree is stupid. I'm just saying that ideally, for insurance, it might be a good idea to pick up some skills that aren't aviation related. Of course, this takes time and money away from pursuit of a flying career.

Either way, risk not, gain not...

Hmm we aren't included in there. We have more multi hours than ATP, no sim time, and hmm it's 17K cheaper. Interesting.

Aviation degrees aren't stupid, if you have a planned backup that doesn't require a bachelors degree. I have a degree in a non aviation related field, and I have zero regrets. I'm in a GREAT position should I ever lose my medical. I'd be kinda stuck with an aviation degree...not too much left to do there that I'd still be interested in that doesn't require a degree. It's all up to the person though.
