    Questions about going into the airlines as a pilot?

    Hi, I have a few questions in regards to flying for the airlines. I would like to fly for a major carrier someday. However, I may not go into the military. How much money should I expect to spend for training? Should I go into the regionals after college, or should Ii go fly business jets for a...

    LEAD program?

    Hi. I have heard of the LEAD program, in which enlisted airmen can go into the USAFA. They mention on the website that they reserve slots for enlisted airmen and that they go unfilled every year. This sounds too good to be true. Is this true? I remember a recruiter who told me that actually...

    Navy? A better choice for fighters than AF?

    What do you mean? I was explaining how I would get a degree in Russian language because it will be beneficial to NASA.

    Navy? A better choice for fighters than AF?

    The first unit I heard is getting the F35 is the VT ANG. I am aware it will the unit that many f16 and f15 units will apply to as well. I am not enlisting, I am applying off the street. I'm considering joining the corps, but I'm not sure how much value will being a helo test pilot will be to the...

    Navy? A better choice for fighters than AF?

    I really wanted to fly the F35.Yes, I was going the military way because it seems the best route to go to become an astronaut. I wanted to become a military test pilot, but I wanted to test on fighters. I'm just not going that route because I don't know what other roadblocks could be waiting for...

    Navy? A better choice for fighters than AF?

    Thanks.There wasn't anything that could, but I didn't know enough about what I was getting myself into. I will continue to try the guard, but I will not enlist but instead apply off the street.

    Navy? A better choice for fighters than AF?

    I plan to go to Va Tech University. I' hoping to go into NASA as an aerospace engineer first. Ii know tons of people will want to go into the same field too, but I wouldn't have to worry about being committed to doing something I don't enjoy. In ROTC, I could be committed to serve in RPA in...

    Navy? A better choice for fighters than AF?

    Thanks but Iit just seems too risky. If I go ROTC, I may not it into field training, or I could get RPA's out of UPT. If I go Guard, I am really up against AD fighter pilots and airline pilots. I don't think any of you are changing my dream, I believe you are telling me the facts and the reality...

    I can deal with stress. This career path I just frustrating. There are too many variables to worry about throughout college and after. Field training, UPT, commander's ranking, etc. I can' even predict how many fighters, if any, will even drop by the time I graduate UPT.

    I can deal with stress. It's just that this career path is frustrating in that there are many things that can go the wrong way.

    Navy? A better choice for fighters than AF?

    I will have a college grant so I won't have to repay anything when I graduate college. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to go military first to save a lot of time and money. If this plan doesn't work out, I will go on to one of the space industries, such as virgin galactic, nasa, or space...

    Navy? A better choice for fighters than AF?

    I was going to try to transition from the guard to active duty if possible. Then I would try to go to TPS.

    Navy? A better choice for fighters than AF?

    Ok. I guess I should find another way of becoming an astronaut. I've always dreamed of flying fighters but this path looks too unrealistic. I am not a quitter or lazy at all. It's just that I have been through some things in life and school and I can't work through intense competition and stress...

    A lot of people who went this route tell me that face time with pilots is big because they are the hiring managers.
