Close to college graduation, Now what?
Im about to graduate from college this spring with a degree in aviation management. Its always been my desire to be a professional pilot but couldn't afford to get a degree and fly. before college i got my private and started into my IFR.
I want to fast track to finish my IFR, Multi and Commercial, so I can get out and start to build time.
What ive been told about ATP is that they're an ok school. they do it fast but your not going to get any better instruction then a local FBO plus when i price them against others they cost at least twice as much.
I know i need the ratings Im just looking for a place to get them. Cheep fast ad good with en emphasis on the good and cheep
Can anyone suggest some good places to do this at, maybe one with a job placement.

Forget about flying professionally
A few words about aviation management. Airport management usually pays very well even if you are not the top person there. That is because most airports are managed by the local county government. The jobs are not too hard to get at the smaller airports. You can eventually just buy your own airplane and enjoy flying. Since you won't need a commercial certificate to fly your own airplane you will not have to invest all the money in training and then get zero return on that investment when you go to the airlines.

The two reasons i took aviation management are that it had to do with flying and i couldn't pay to actually fly. and i know the Union/ Management struggle and want to understand what they are trying to do. Ive always wanted to be a line pilot
