Question:
I have done plenty of searches to find an answer to this question but i still haven't found what i am looking for. I'm interested in pursuing a profession as an airline pilot at a four year university. Is it possible for me to do that? What universities offer the type of schooling applicable to that career field, that are federally approved.

When you have a 4 hour layover at 5AM at Atlanta ariport, what do you do?
For the most part, its not the school, but the instructor. You can have a bad instructor at a large school, and a good instructor at a small school. The person sitting beside you will have more of an impact on your training than the school.After that, its dependent on your location, and funding.
Why do we have to make sure our seats are upright during flight takeoff and landing?
Can you travel to the other side of the country to go to School?
Get out to your local flight schools, and talk to the instructors, and students there. Get a vibe for the school, the planes, and the people.

Trust your instincts.
But when you make your choice, and start your training, don't be afraid to fly with more than one instructor to find the right fit. Even if you're into your training by the time you realize the fits not right. The instructors are professionals, and should completely understand. They've all been through it.
Renting cost of heavy aircraft maintenace hanger based on what factors?
Don't get too focused on flying for the airlines. You'll have a couple jobs before that point. Get your Licenses, build your time. The airlines, for the most part, don't care about where you did your basic flight training. Just as long as you've got the experience, and the right work ethic/personality that fits theirs.
What medical tests do you have to succes for getting the PPL?
I agree with some parts of the previous post and disagree with others. Clearly the flight instructor has more experience than I, I am a student at one of those big schools. I did however obtain my private certificate under part 61 rules (local FBO). I recommend with no reservations getting your private locally. The reason why. . . It's gonna be less expensive. If you find you don't enjoy what you're doing, or aren't ready to be commited to it fully, there is a minimal expense.After that, you have a choice to make, if you have resources for it (like a family that has a lot of money), you can get your training locally. And I do agree about finding an instructor that fits, this is partially why I like the big flight school. If you don't like your instructor at the big name flight school, you talk to administration, and get a switch. They understand that people have different ways of learning, and different ways of teaching. Locally, it could be a little trickier, the option is there, no doubt about it, but you are a little more limited I think. Another good reason for the big flight school. . . Standardization, if you do switch instructors, they can look right at you're file and know what specific, structured lesson you are ready for. Part 61, there seems to me to be less structure, sure you get it all done, but I think you spend more time spinning wheels so-to-speak. There is another question regarding who do pilots fund their training, I highly recommend reading the article I wrote there as well.
As to your specific question, there are many very good flight schools that offer four year degrees with flying. I would recommend contacting the Aircraft Owners and Pilot's Association (AOPA). To name a few, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (Main campus Daytona Beach, FL), Florida Institute of Technology. There are usually local schools that offer degree programs but you may have to do the flying on your own. Also, there are some schools that have 'extended campuses' Embry Riddle has a main campus in Arizona, and smaller extended campusses all over the world. Delta Connection Academy has a main campus in Sanford (Orlando), FL. And extended campusses around the states, I think they have one in Houston, TX, one in Maine (I think), one in Ohio, and I think a few others (although this isn't really a four year school). There are absolutely many variables to consider, and no - one right way to go about things. You must figure out what works best for you. Good luck, Scott

How many miles does an Airplane fly in one minute?
Westminster College in Salt Lake City is a great one. I'm a student there now myself. Small classes, great aircraft, and a very fast-paced program with good opportunities for flight instructor internships. Plus it's a good liberal ed school as well.More Questions & Answers ...
