I am looking for so advice on a path to choose for education and flight training. I am 27 years old been in the military for 10 years now and working towards my goal of working for an airline. Now I am currently enrolled in a 4 year University for a non aviation degree and in their professional pilot program, i will balance a full class schedule along with flight time in between. For reference the program seems the same as the other professional pilot programs at other university's. On the other side I have had several people telling me to go the Academy rout, one in particular US Aviation Academy. As I have been told is a so called "Pipeline program" with a guaranteed CFI job afterwords and interview with the regional in its network. Currently I am deployed overseas and still have some time to decide if I want to stick with the University of go to the Academy. I have had plenty of time to study for both I have every jepp part 141, 61, and test booklet for every rating type and have read them multiple times to he'll me stay ahead. Everything I have read tells me they want a degree so am I better off going to the University logging hours and the degree at the same time or will I benefit more from the Academy? Will the fast placement in a job help out and go for the degree will I'm working night class and such? Money is not a factor here with my time in service and multiple deployment benefits my training and degree is all but paid for and I have enough money saved up for the rest. The cost for both are just about the same, so which path with benefit the most its the fork in the road for me. Anyone who has information would be greatly appreciated.
