nah, who really cares about them! Up root everything you own, sell the rest, and move to the great land of North Dakota and for only 120k (the average commercial degree here) you too can become a real live aviator!!!!
On a slightly more serious note, I know you were looking there for some kind of degree, but really if you don't want to go into big flying, ie a major or cooperate jets, you don't really need one. Regionals and other smaller companies will be happy with you just having your licenses from what i hear.
That seems to be quite true these days. It used to be important at regionals becuase they could afford to be picky. Now they are so desperate that a pulse is one of their biggest concerns.
However, if you're going to do any type of scheduled service, don't get yourself locked in. Majors are still able to find enough pilots to be picky (although not all of them care about a degree) and right *now* the unions at the majors are allowing their companies to get contracts that help the regionals keep their pay lower. This might change if regionals start trying to compete to draw pilots from eachother... they've about lowered the bar as far as the FAA will allow them to without physically paying to train pilots themselves, so it is a possibility.
Oh, and if I havn't mentioned it somewhere else in this forum: Do NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES even consider going to GOJETS (also known as GO JET or GO JET ENTERPRISES etc) or Boston-Maine Airways. Flying for either of those companies will get you blacklisted.
Airtac, it's all good.
I'm in Helena, MT presently, will continue on into Canada today, don't expect internet access again until I get to Fairbanks, although that doesn't mean there's no chances.
