I am going to go to Utah state university for aviation. I have my private pilots license already and hopefully i will have my Instrument by the end of the year. Im starting to have doubts of USU, if i am not happy i will most likely transfer to ERAU. I chose USU because it was an actual university with different majors and not just a specific major oriented school. I figured i can also get mountain check outs as well as density altitude practice while flying in utah
How long does it take most people from coming out of college to get into the airlines. I would like to fly charter out of college to build hours and maybe move up into flying with mountain air and eventuallly move up to fedex. Or just fly regional and move up into the bigs. But what i am really asking is how long did it take most of you that are already flying in the airlines to get from college to where you are now. I'm just really afraid of my parents spending so much money to put me through this, and eventuallly me not being able to find a job. I am a little relieved that there will be tons of retirements in the next 10 or so years. So i may have a chance
I also have neurofribromatosis . The medical examiner that i go to for assistance is Jack Hastings. He says i am fine for getting my 1st class medical. He says that there are pilots with Neurofribromatosis, which i find interesting. I am trying to figure out what i might want to do if my 1st class medical is denied.
But anyway
What college did you go to? Are you a CFI? Does it matter what aviation school you go to?
I really want to avoid being a CFI. I can't teach for squat. I know that is how you gain hours, i would be absolutely terrible at explaining everything to a student
