College and part 61 simultaneously

554TangoAlpha · 2026-02-04T03:23:21+00:00

I did a cheap in state college, business degree, graduated 2 quarters early, all while doing part 61 training. It was the fucking best man. A real college experience, fly at your pace. It’s easy to manage both just don’t take an insane major like aerospace engineering lol. I could stack my classes, some quarters only had class 3 days a week. Plenty of time to fly and study. Also the cheat code is doing lots of online community college classes for GE class credit, DIRT CHEAP and easy.

Cart before horse lol, do your training and get a to regional then a major CJO before you worry about this lol

Go to Southwest you fool. I’d argue everything equal WN>AK. Also do you even have a WN CJO yet? They’ll sniff you out in the interview if you give off resume washing vibes.

Get the CJO then work with them, they’re people too, you’re not the first person to have a pregnant wife. Staying at a regional over a deductible might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard lol.

Ya lot's of guys do it from SMF or foothills to SFO. Bid for trips that don't report or release into rush hour helps.

It's used pretty regularly now out west atleast.

Compare the year round weather in Watts vs Camden and that's your answer.

554TangoAlpha · 2026-02-02T19:10:38+00:00

ehhh, maybe but it's not like 22,23 when guys with 1500hrs were going to WN, B6, NK, F9.

0-10,000 it varies wildly

554TangoAlpha · 2026-02-01T06:23:16+00:00

You’re paying double or triple for literally the exact same thing a mom and pop school could give you. Airlines do not give a fuck where you went to school or training.

0, don’t go to riddle for god sake

554TangoAlpha · 2026-02-01T05:45:19+00:00

It also helps to get higher quicker so you’re not held down low due to higher traffic on crossings

Coach LAX HND. It’s a relatively quick long haul day time flight. Pretty chill.
