Quote:Taylor said there is a limited number of four-year fixed wing programs in the eastern portion of the United States with only one in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia.
Quote:According to Taylor, tier one airlines such as Delta and American only hire pilots with four-year degrees, putting Marshall’s potential program in the spotlight.
This is what I was talking about when I was talking about fixed programs, right now only 3 states in the east have a fixed 4 year aviation programs.
Quote:Marshall expects around 300 students in the program once it gets established but will plan the residence hall by phases, with 50 to 75 beds being built first.
That just isn’t true. There is only One in ky, tn, and Ohio (I guess) but fl has one, Michigan has one, Indiana has one.
Ohio has 4, 4 year Aviation programs to my knowledge. Ohio, Kent, OSU, Bowling green. Im not sure in UC has a 4 year program or not. The key with the airlines is that they dont care what your degree is in as long as you have one. So you could go to school for any subject, become a pilot on the side at your local airport and you would still be fine.

Thats a good way to do it because it saves you a TON of money.
RE: Marshall To Start New School With 2 New Degree's: Aviation
You might not want to invest too heavily in that new aviation program. Tech also has an aviation program, it is one of the nation's oldest.
American Airlines said on Wednesday that it will warn 25,000 frontline employees of possible furloughs and layoffs, nearly 20% of the company's workforce of 130,000.
Although travel demand had begun a modest rebound, airline CEO Doug Parker and president Robert Isom said in a letter to employees that demand has begun to slow down again as COVID-19 infections have spiked in numerous US states. https://www.businessinsider.com/american...rus-2020-7

I flew to New York last week and the plane was full both ways. That said, my ticket was $28 round trip so I know they didn’t make any meaningful money on me.

The question is, are you gonna ignore pristine streams from now on?

Marshall will partner 1st with Southern Utah University because their aviation school is already accredited. The start date for Marshall is Fall of 2021.
Classes will be held on the South Charleston Campus and training at Yeager Airport. Marshall will have a hanger built at Yeager and start off with 2 SR22 Cirrus Aircraft and a helicopter with up to 7 more planes to come by 2023. There will also be a flight simulator built and put in at the hanger at Yeager Airport.
That’s awesome. Such a unique and valuable degree.
