Options I have for the regionals?
hey guys, I'm currently a student at Delta Connection Academy and I moving very quickly in my training. I need to know the options that I have that can take me from my multi-engine rating to the regionals, besides becoming a flight instructor. Any help?

ATPS seems like the better deal. Unless you really wanted a ERAU aviation degree.

Oh, and about CFI'ing...don't do it at DCA. I hear they only make $10/hr. HAHAH! Sweet. At my last CFI job I was paid $16/hr and billed 150 average hours per month....

However, for your other options, take a look at the list of flight activities in 14 CFR part 119.1(e). That list is pretty much it. Anything else is going to require FAA paperwork and probably more flight time than you need for a right seat job at a regional.

No wonder DCA is the worst school out there, their own students are asking the world for help instead of the school itself.
