I have decided to start a new career as a professional pilot and have tentively decided to go to American Academy of Aviation in San Jose, CA. then transfering to their main site in Sacramento, Ca. to finish my schooling. Does anyone have any inside info about this school? Is this a decent flight school? My goal is to graduate with both a B.S. in Aeronautical sciences and have all my pilot ratings through ATP. Any comments, suggestions, ideas?

Hi, I am going to a similar flight school (UND) which is argueably number 1 or 2 in the world SUPPOSIBLY for aviation.  Our undergraduate course for the commercial pilot major goes up to CFII (instrument flight instructor with commercial, multi-instrument privleges).  It is unlikely you are going to find a school with a B.S. degree that goes all the way through ATP (keep in mind that the FAA requires 1500 hours to take the test for ATP license, which is only required for being a captain of an airline catagory aircraft, not a first officer).  1500 hours adds up to a lot of money out of pocket.  The best bet is to get all the way through to being a multi-engine instructor and then build multi engine time PIC, which is what airlines are mainly looking at, and then your students pay for the aircraft rather than yourself.  Hope I have been a little help anyways Smiley Best of luck on your adventure!
