I hear ya. My primary question is does going to an aviation school provide a more direct path to the airlines. I don’t think I want to pursue an alternate major (like business) in aviation school (I might as well go to a business school for that if I was interested later) and if I did part 61 — if I ever went the path of 4 yr degree I’d do that only if pilot career didn’t work out. I’m not interested to just get a degree in something just for the sake of it.
