hey man Im a senior as well- yet I am in TN. I want to be an airline pilot as well and will be going to Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) in the fall. I currently have my private and am getting close to done on the Instrument. At MTSU I will do my commercial the fall term and my multi, CFI, CFI-I, and MEI the spring term. Ill be doing the professional pilot major with a business minor and with summer school I think I can finish in 3 years. Ill be 21 with all my ratings and maybe 800 total hours (maybe 65-70 multi). I plan on doing a year worth of Multi hour building and other programs (like pan-am's ACE program and maybe go to a first officer school and get some turbine time- although that is some $$$). Goal is to have my ATP at 23 and get hired at airlink with maybe 1600 or so hours and fly with them till 25 or 26 and go to fly fedex.... Im a bit lofty on expectations but I think it can be done. Its not too late to go to MTSU but flight labs for the fall term were just awarded so you couldnt start flying your first semester but you could start now and get your private and instrument before school starts- just a thought.
