Originally posted by DeltaRulesI go to DCA in Dayton & like it so far. I wish I would've known that before I started there, though.

Part of the reason has to do with getting a 4 year degree, someone with a 4 year degree will definately be hired before they might even THINK about someone with a non 4 year degree.

Originally posted by DeltaRulesI'm hoping to transfer to ERAU once I get done with that & through the ratings at DCA. I'm not sure if that's how it works, but they (Riddle) told me that's something that I could do & I would be able to get a four-year degree. I'm not going to stop at the two-year degree Sinclair offers.

Originally posted by screaming_emuseriously dude, once you have your ratings, go somewhere else and/or study something else. Airlines only care that you have a degree, they really dont give a damn what you studied. I have a friend who flies for pinnacle who has a degree in philosophy. The reason I say this is because should aviation not work out for some reason, or you come on hard times like the people from flyI have, it is a good idea to have a backup that will get you by for a while.

Thanks for everyone's input, I am about 3 weeks from finishing the Private Certificate and am thrilled at that. As far as going away to a four-year university, probaly not going to happen. I do have 3 years under my belt and I will get the fourth year as time goes by, probaly with online classes.
Seeing that I am 27, married, and have a house, I will stay local, which means I will be going to ATP's 10 month self-paced cirriculum. I can continue to work for SWA and getting my ratings while continuing to be able to pay for my house and stuff.
Thanks Everyone

Speaking of "fallback" plans...
Does UND allow Aviation students to double major? What about ERAU? Purdue? I know that UIUC requires its Av. students to major in something else (anything really) as well as aviation.Fly Raleigh-Durham International, with direct flights on Air Canada, AirTran, American Airlines, American Eagle, America West, Continental Airlines, Continental Express, Delta Airlines, Delta Connection, jetBlue, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Express and US Airways to:
ATL, AUS, BWI, BOS, CHS, CLT, MDW, ORD, CVG, CLE, DFW, DTW, FLL, BDL, HOU, IND, LAS, LAX, LGW, MEM, MIA, MSP, BNA, EWR, MSY, JFK, LGA, ORF, MCO, PHL, PHX, PIT, STL, SLC, TPA, YYZ, DCA and IAD.

Originally posted by screaming_emuyes for UND. What a lot of people do instead is major in aviation management so that you also have a business degree when you graduate.
So now that UND is back in the picture-
I was thinking of a commercial aviation major combined with something completely unrelated to aviation (history, a language, etc). Are there any cases of UND flight students doing something like that as well?Fly Raleigh-Durham International, with direct flights on Air Canada, AirTran, American Airlines, American Eagle, America West, Continental Airlines, Continental Express, Delta Airlines, Delta Connection, jetBlue, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines, United Express and US Airways to:
