Want to be a professional pilot?

What happens though if they put you in a UAV Program?

Didn't say there weren't risks :) Besides, the Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard don't put pilots into UAV, at least not now or any time in the future that I'm aware of.

IMO, want to fly? Go to a regular school, use one of the ROTC programs and let the military pay for your flight training...and school too.

20/400 vision. :(

But I fly a jet with 276 troops onboard now, so that uhh, I guess makes sense.

I was CP from 88-90, then picked it up last two years. Did you fly?

No, just orientation flights and the like.

Actually had almost no interest in flying then. My vision was just bad enough to need a waiver for Annapolis, so Navy flying was out, and I passed on the appointment there. Would have been okay in the Air Force to fly at the time, but I figured engineering was a more stable career choice.

But aviation schools are more fun. I don't have to spend years learning something I don't care about just to tick off the degree mark on my application.

Oh, I laugh so hard sometimes.

For what it's worth, collegiate aviation is getting a break in the HR 5900 ANPRM regarding air carrier pilot qualification. So there's that...but beyond that...I don't see the point.

I just submitted my application papers. :) Single-pilot resource management?

Solar Radiation Management Flights. And I'm quite serious. Gov't Labs around the world are working on it. Very little media coverage. Irony is, pilots know nothing about them. The way things are going, pilots are going to be the last to know.

As someone doing the FBO thing, I'll add that if you take this route, you can't rush through everything and NOT end up in debt. If you're in that 1% that sparked the occupy movement, then good for you, bro. Otherwise, life is going to get in a way, your friends are going to become CFIs in the blink of an eye, and you will feel behind if you aren't happy with your decision. But at the end of the day, flying will be there, college won't. Stay positive and out of debt the FBO way. :)
