Hi everyone,

Im new to this site, just joined today, I have found some really useful information!

Just a few questions...

First, im 18 years old I live in MA, I graduated high school in june and I knew I wanted to be a pilot, but I just couldnt figure out the right path. my search was slowed down becuase in february my friends and I were filming a school project and we had this little cap gun and pointed it at some random sign and a truck drove by, saw us pointing it, he was an undercover cop, and we got arrested, for assault with a dangerous weapon, it was then reduced to assault and then the case was dismissed...

I was looking at going to a community college first...
I was thinking about going to broward community college since they have that program with the delta connection academy, get my ratings there and an associates in professional aviation, then flight train while doin the extended campus course from embry riddle. then going back and getting the guranteed job interview...

North shore community college up here in Ma also has an aviation program,

I just cant decide what to do, obviously i wont make registration for the fall semester, so im looking at starting in January.

If anyone has any suggestions at all, I would love to hear from you.

I appreciate it! and keep up the good work

Thanks,

Sean

P.S. Sorry for such a long post
 
a. Obtain a copy of your criminal record.

and

b. Don't chose a college because of a guaranteed interview -- I can get my cat an interview, especially when there's a contractual obligation for such.
 
Take some time and research this site. Start with Doug's links on the home page and then the perspectives articles. You're interested in DCA and ERAU? We have forums here specifically aimed at those schools.

You've got to be kidding me.

You mean the cop actually arrested you for having a cap gun?

Does Toys 'R Us run background checks on children buying these "dangerous weapons" these days?

If you have a criminal record because of that, get a good lawyer and play ball. That's rediculous.

A guaranteed job interview is not the same as a job. I can guarantee you an interview with my company, but I can't guarantee you a job...

Get your degree. Concentrate and devote all of your energy to it. That is your ticket much more than anything else.

Don't you just love gun control freaks?

How silly the infraction sounds is a moot issue. The important part is if it'll show up on a background check even after being dismissed, which I don't know.

You certainly don't want to be in ground school at an airline and have the director of HR walk in and ask, 'What's this about a weapons charge on your background check' and ask you to bring your books and ID with you to his office.
 
Don't count out training locally at an FBO. These "guaranteed job interviews" are propaganda and just another way they try to separate you from your money. Don't train somewhere because of the name. Where you trained is a moot point when it comes to hiring.

I trained at a Part 61 school, then Colorado Northwestern Community College, then The Metropolitan State College of Denver....You've probably never heard of them, but they're outstanding schools, and CHEAP compared to bigger names...and I still got hired by an airline 1 month after graduation.
