    Absolutely! There are several options available, especially if you want to use your GI Bill. Most pilots aiming for a degree typically go for a bachelor's degree, which is more applicable to their future. This video explains the fastest way to become a pilot, allowing you to get paid sooner, build seniority sooner, and reach the majors sooner. Some of our students are veterans who went through our program, then pursued college while instructing, and used their GI Bill for that schooling. This approach lets them build flight hours, gain significantly more experience compared to the college-first route, get paid as pilots, and complete their degrees covered by the GI Bill. When you join an aviation college program, you're technically in flight school, but you get much less training exposure compared to someone who starts with full-time flight school. This is because the training is spread over four years (or two years for an associate's degree), rather than a 5.5-month intensive period. In that same two-year period, someone who chose flight school first will have graduated with seven certificates/ratings, built up to 1500 hours, and already moved on to the airlines. There are definitely routes to take where it is initially cheaper, but when you start to consider opportunity cost and/or ROI, it actually will cost you more at the end with less pay, experience, and seniority on the same timeline as someone who chose to go to flight school first.

    It is impressive that you can finish all of your ratings in 5.5 months at your school, but your college timeline just isn’t accurate depending on the school. The school I am training at sees all of its students graduate in just 3 years. Being a collegiate program, we only need 1,000 hours for our R-ATP. Most students graduate with 500-1,000 flight hours. The college has connections with airlines like Frontier, and I have many friends that have been hired at Frontier after just 3 years. The rest only need a few extra months of instructing to reach 1,000. Although Frontier isn’t a major, it has a similar schedule, pay, and benefits. The switch from Frontier to a major is very easy at that point. I do think your school may still be faster, but college can be much faster than you described it to be, and there are some other advantages of going to a college instead.

    Thank you for your comment! We recognize that each person's flight training journey is unique. Our program is specifically structured to help our students graduate faster than any other school in the US, enabling them to start earning money as a CFI and accumulating flight hours sooner. By reaching the 1500-hour milestone sooner, our students are also maximizing their return on investment, as they don't spend years in school without income. Although we highlight this, our primary aim in this video is to provide valuable information and allow aspiring pilots to make informed choices that align with their unique goals and aspirations.

    Awesome comparison video. I just recently had 2 professional pilots tell me to skip the bachelor degree( I already have an associates) and go straight to getting your ratings due to the current state of the industry. I'm a middle aged person as well so speed is everything right now. I'm an RN and can always get my BSN online later. Besides, I have the ultimate back up career if things change in the industry. BTW, an RN only takes 2yrs to get and you can work 3 days a week for a full time salary and pretty much anywhere in the country you want which gives you plenty of flexibility to do flight training while still working and making a pretty good wage.

    @@gbma3241 It really comes down to personal preference and your long-term goals. Some opt for a degree not related to aviation as a backup in case flying isn't an option, but remember, losing the ability to fly doesn't mean you can't work in the industry. The aviation field is resilient but people like to avoid the ripple effect of an industry that is experiencing any problems. Others choose an aviation degree for a stronger industry connection. However, some people skip a degree because it's quite an expensive option for a backup plan. Instead, they may acquire trade skills or explore financial security through business ownership or investments. Ultimately, it's about aligning your choices with your aspirations and financial considerations.

Anyways there’s just a lot of complications around flying as a non citizen and I understand that. I’m looking to get my ppl at a part time flight school while finishing up high school. After that, moving to college for a degree in aviation. My question is, would it be hard for me, a foreigner to become a commercial or corporate pilot working in the US? Like how hard would it be to get a visa sponsor from an airline or company after I finish my ppl and graduate from college with all my hours and certificates? Thanks a lot for your help😃

    Nearly all pilot positions no longer require a degree, although having one can be advantageous in highly competitive fields. Our graduates without degrees have successfully secured jobs with airlines, cargo companies, and corporate employers with no issues. The most important factor is flight experience! This is why we recommend going to flight school first if your goal is to be a pilot.

    Adding more weight and thought to the College First path: This is a very important question for those interested in pursuing a career in aviation and specifically for those interested in a career with the major airlines. This is the first video that I have seen that starts to tackle this question and I think it is a very good start in providing individuals with some things to think about. As in every choice there are trade-offs and probabilities of the outcomes being achieved when you are comparing A vs B (vs C vs etc). In this case I would like to weigh-in and provide some additional things to think about, that build on what is already touched on in this video; and may even respectfully challenge some of the implied assumptions and conclusions in the comparative analysis i.e. A) I liked the side by side timeline; that is a great framework and tool to build the analysis i.e. that was awesome…here are some things to layer on to some of the assumptions stated i.e. the timeline implies that both paths will immediately lead to a regional airline job after flight school / hours are accomplished; and that after 4 years both paths will lead to an immediate airline job…. which suggests that you are better off taking the “Flight School First” path. This however, practically can only hold true in an environment where Demand for jobs dwarfs the Supply of pilots meeting the minimum hours; and to be fair…since COVID and up until recently this was probably the case…and demand will continue to be high in the next few years; however while demand for jobs is not going away, the gap between demand for jobs and supply is starting to narrow....and while as stated in the video the formal requirement of having a college degree is no longer applicable; in a narrower demand / supply environment it will (in my humble opinion) become a competitive advantage for those that will have it…and this is where the analysis of the timeline gets impacted. For example, let’s take 20 individuals and split them into two groups of 10 (one group for each path)…Now let’s say there is a regional airline that has a posting for 5 pilots…I believe that the College First Group will have an advantage and will fill most of those positions…the point is that while the College first will take a few year more to get to the “regional” stage of the journey they will most likely convert into a job faster than the flight school first cohort…and I have seen some communications that suggests airlines (everything else equal) are again starting to factor the degree in their hiring assessment B) The comparison has to also reflect more than 10 years i.e. like any business / industry, aviation goes (and I believe will continue to go) through cycles; from Pilot Shortages to Furloughs … and again this is where having a degree is a positive / differentiator when pilots are recalled after a trough in the business cycle….in short I think both paths as stated in the video have their trade-offs and are options to consider for those that have a passion and want to pursue a career in aviation. My points simply highlight that for those also interested in the major airlines as a career should give a little more weight to the College First path, than is stated in the video; especially thinking about their long term aviation journey. Thank you.

    We really appreciate your insight and the thoroughly written response to this video. We also appreciate you not being argumentative. We're so used to that on our social sometimes 😅. Thank you for the compliments on our side-by-side timeline…we worked really hard on that. We initially were going to make a video responding to this comment, because you make a lot of good points, but we just cannot find the time to make it. Instead, we’re going to respond to this 3 weeks late 😀. We'd like to contribute to this discussion by breaking down your response into two subjects. Game face...it's a novel of a response. If you respond to this, we'll try to get to it as soon as possible, but we're a small marketing team 😅. Those two subjects will be: 1. The Degree's Competitive Hiring Advantage 2. Long-Term Career Considerations 1. The Degree's Competitive Hiring Advantage - Having a college degree can be more advantageous during the hiring process, which is why we recommend still pursuing a degree, but we think it is best to pursue one after you are getting paid as a pilot. The degree doesn’t really become advantageous until you get to the regionals, but even then and as we mention later, the flight school first individual will get hired quicker if both individuals are on the same timeline and considering a hypothetical delay where they have preferential hiring for those with a degree. The degree can carry weight, but it doesn't carry as much weight as it may seem from what we've experienced in the past decades. - Considering the cyclical nature of the pilot industry, a degree can potentially be beneficial during periods of low demand for pilots. However, this video emphasizes that going to flight school first is beneficial because those individuals will be applying to regionals two years sooner than those who choose college first. We've been around long enough to see the highs and lows of the industry and we're constantly observing industry fluctuations. Rarely have we seen it take longer than six months for our graduates to make it to the airlines after meeting all qualifications, and it only took that long because our country shut down from COVID. During that time though, they were still getting paid as pilots while building additional hours and experience. - Comparing two individuals on the same timeline, one choosing college first and the other flight school first, by the time both of them reach the two-year mark, the college-first individual will have received their associate's degree. Meanwhile, the flight school-first individual will have graduated with seven certificates/ratings, started working on their degree part-time, built up 1500 hours, and started applying to regionals (if not already accepted to one). In the worst-case scenario (assuming the same extreme worse case scenario of that 6 month delay we mentioned earlier), they’ll still reach the regionals in 2.5 years. Even if you tripled that delay, they would still get to the regionals first. The college-first individual, however, won’t start looking for regional jobs for at least another 1.5 years from that same 2.5 year point on the timeline. This also assumes that they have built up the 1000 hours required for their R-ATP by graduation (which isn't always the case) and they also don’t experience any delays in being hired themselves. In this scenario, the flight school first individual may have experienced a 6 month delay, but they would have had 1.5 years more experience at the regionals alone by the time the college-first individual started applying for that same regional (let alone all of the experience and flight time the flight school first individual received from completing flight school and instructing much earlier in the timeline). 2. Long-Term Career Considerations - We want to re-emphasize that going to flight school first doesn’t mean you can’t ever pursue a degree, but rather you’re prioritizing it after you start getting paid as a pilot. It is very possible to receive that degree before you even get to the majors. During the time that the college first individual spent pursuing the degree, flight school-first individuals will have graduated, been getting paid to fly, built more hours and experience, and started building seniority at the regionals. This gives them a significant advantage. - Hearing from those in the industry now (as the industry is seeing some furloughs and shortages), tenure and experience with that specific airline carry more weight than a college degree at that point. Once again though, if someone pursued their degree after flight school…they not only would have their degree, but they will have more tenure and experience because they were immersed into the industry much sooner than the college-first individual. The other final point is we have regional recruiters visit our school at least once a month to talk to our students and instructors about future opportunities for them, and the subject of college or no college comes up often. From our conversations with them, college degrees just aren’t carrying much weight, if any, in the hiring process. It is mentioned that it can start to carry weight in the majors, but even then, they aren’t running into such small hiring pools where they are forced to select between those with a college degree and those that don't. They seem to care much more about experience and reputation from an individual's time at the regionals. Thank you for coming to our TED talk. We may still turn this into a video...but there are so many TikToks to make.

    UND is an excellent program, and many colleges offer great options for those who desire to take that route! What we do is provide accelerated training for those who want to prioritize flying for a career. In as little as 5.5 months, our graduates can get paid as a career pilot. This means our alumni won't be accruing additional debt but rather earning money while time-building. From 0 experience, our graduates usually hit 1500 hours in 1.5 to 2 years, which means they will go to the airlines, charter, or corporate sooner than those who choose a bachelors program.

    Yes! We would recommend pursuing your degree while time building or at the regionals instead of during or before flight school. This would equate to less time accumulating debt and a quicker route to the majors! Also, some flight schools like ours have partnerships with colleges to allow your flight training to count towards your bachelor's, meaning you would complete your degree even faster.

    The extent of your GI Bill benefits hinges on factors like your service type, deployment history, and more. Not every GI Bill recipient receives full coverage. While having the GI Bill cover both full-time college and aviation training can alleviate debt concerns for aspiring pilots, it overlooks a critical aspect-seniority. Entering service later delays your ability to fully commit to flight school or college, and most veterans don't pursue education during their initial years of service. Despite potential debt relief, the trade-off is falling years behind in seniority compared to peers who started earlier. Students who swiftly repay flight school debt can enter the industry with both seniority and financial freedom, outpacing those with lower debt but slower career progression.

    Hi, I hope this message finds you well. I have a few questions regarding obtaining a bachelor's degree after attending Blue Line Aviation. I am curious if it is possible for me to go to Embry Riddle rather than pursuing another path. Additionally, I would like to know more about the opportunities for international students to study there. Do I need to finish my Bachillerato in Spain before attending Blue Line Aviation? Furthermore, I am starting to plan for my dream college after Blue Line Aviation and I am curious about the payment options available for students. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    if you're planning to come to Riddle, get at least your private first. If possible, get as many certificates as you can so you can work as a CFI in Riddle and do your degree. For international, apply for either the F-1 (riddle) or M-1 (if you dont want work in the US only flying)

    You do not need perfect eye sight! We recommend you reach out to a local AME (Aviation Medical Examiner) or talk with AOPA's medical department and they can give you specific guidance for what you're asking!

    Yes! However, we would say that if your goal is to fly for the airlines or any aviation industry that values seniority, becoming a pilot and gaining flight hours sooner rather than later is the most important. Going to flight school first and taking college classes while time building allows you to gain seniority faster.

    Some colleges offer flight training alongside your academic program, and that could be the right step for you. However, we would say that this approach is less efficient, incurs higher costs in the long term, and demands more time. Opting for full-time flight school initially allows you to enter the airlines or another seniority-based industry sooner, while concurrently pursuing your bachelor's degree during time building.
