well.... first off, i am new to JC and i have to say i am impressed with all the knowledge on the site. i have already found answers to alot of questions. especially about flight schools. i am working on my private and look to be done in another 3 weeks or so. i love flying and have been captivated by airplanes since a very young age. i would like to make a career out of flying and am having trouble deciding how to get there.
heres the deal. i ultimately want to be flying in the corporate aviation world. now i just need to figure out how to get there without going into dept up to my eyeballs. i was thinking more around waist height. i have a nice little fbo here in tallahassee and they have the ability to get me through all my ratings but im afraid it would be a timely ordeal. my current plan is to stay with the fbo through comercial and cfi and then procede to instruct for a while in order to get enough time for a 135 job. or maybe the airlines will be hiring by that time. did i mention im living rent free? as long as i can keep a roommate paying rent anyway. that shouldnt be a problem in a college town.
option two is to go to an accelerated career program. i have heard the good and bad about all of them, but they must be considered. the amount of time they save is worth something. but i just cant see taking out a 45-65 thousand dollar loan. even if the airlines are hiring. white air looks enticing as well as atp. if only because of the multi time. and in atps case, the location in S. Fla. (home)
i would like some thoughts on plan one, (local fbo, free rent, get comm, cfi, teach) and the accelerated option. (go to school for a few months, get all my ratings and then well... i guess teach)
any info would be awesome. thanks in advance.
