If you can do a regional and a major...DO It...i wish i did...
BTW i think you must be a junior to get credit at Riddle...

I've heard the same story and honestly, that's EXACTLY what I hope to see myself doing. I honestly don't mind ASA and I'm used to the east coast, however, Skywest would be really awesome. I've still got a while to decide, but I was looking at the options. And yes, a LOT of Riddle kids end up going to ASA...I've got 2 friends who just got hired there. I'm looking forward to hearing about their experiences.
Also something that may help me out is that I might be doing the Cape Air internship this summer as a sophmore. I've worked for the company on the ramp in PVD for 2 summers in a row and I'm familiar with both of the people in charge of training and "internship recruiting." That should get me some SIC time and help the TT. I'll also be doing my Single-Commercial here this summer and I might try to sign up for Angel Flight here in Daytona next Fall/Spring if it's possible. That's something that's on the interest list for me to try out at one point.
