Hello All,
I'm trying to finish out college while working full-time as a Regional FO. I currently live in base as a FO, so I have chosen to defer upgrade and be forced to commute until I finish my education. Since I am deferring upgrade, I want to finish school as fast as possible so after taking one class this fall, I will be taking 13 credits this spring and 14 this summer. My question for those of you that have finished school and flown, which schedule have you found easier Reserve/High Speeds/Line Flying? Living in base gives me a lot of flexibility, but I am curious if anyone has found one schedule is easier than the other. I'm married, a current ARNG soldier, do some ALPA volunteer work, and some local volunteer work as well and I'd like to keep all of those intact if possible!
Any advice would be appreciated!

P.S. If any current college students or younger prospective pilots read this, FINISH COLLEGE WHILE YOU'RE YOUNG. It sucks trying to do it as an adult! Don't slack off and piss away the opportunity to do it while it's easy like I did!
