Am I making a mistake?

[Kobe_238]

I'm new to this board and been looking around (on this board) and been reading alot of bad things about Delta Connection Academy. Here's my situation, I'm 20 yrs old, am just about to complete my Private Pilot License, I have 90 hrs (55 dual, 30 solo, 5 IFR/dual) on a Cessna 172-R. I currently go to the Brampton Flying Club (up here in Ontario, Canada). The way I'm going about it now, I won't have my Commercial License for many years...Thus I want to enroll in a program down south. I have looked at many schools and have decided on DCA. I'm going down to visit their location in Sanford next month. All I want is a program that'll offer a more rigorous program, w/ housing provided, in a location where I don't get cancelled every other day because of unsuitable weather. My ultimate goal is to be an airline pilot, plain and simple. Money is not a problem, but I don't want to be ripped off. I'm not looking to be placed immeadiatly on some airline by DCA, but obviously that would be nice. As far as endorsements go I need my, multi-engine, night & IFR, and ultimatley my commercial license. I would also like to get my acrobatic and seaplane ratings, but they definetly are not a priority. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

If money isn't a problem, DCA is the place for you, or you could try AriBen or ATPS. Orrrrrrrrrrrrr if money isn't a problem, just ramp up your training where you are now. Shouldn't take you long if money is not a problem.

DCA cannot guarantee you a real job anywhere.

Kobe 238, go to Florida; most everyone goes their to get their licenses
and there are lots of instructing jobs. I attented Com Air aviation in Sanford and got all my licenses in less than a year and instructed for about a year and then landed a good job flying cargo.

Most everyone gets their training in FL? WTFO?
