College Search & Selection

<p>I'm not interested in joining the Air Force at all. No. Not going to happen.</p>

<p>What are some of the best schools with aeronautics/aviation majors that could set me in the right direction to being a pilot for a major airline?</p>

<p>In case it's important: When I apply to college, my GPA will be 3.3 or 3.4 with a lot of honors, lost of ec's, and an ACT in the high 20s.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>Seconding University of North Dakota. Northwest Airlines has partnered with them. I'll bet they have a much more reasonable tuition, too.</p>

<p>Regrettably, in today's airline environment, airlines are not looking for the best educated or best trained pilots. They are looking for the cheapest. That guy in the right seat of your airliner today may only have a few hundred hours of experience. Investigate the field fully before investing your life in it. There are a lot of good unemployed pilots out there.</p>
