If you want to be airline pilot you should absolutely get a bachelors degree. Yes it’s possible to get on with a major by going through a regional flow without one. But do you really want to risk having a single path? This is BAD advice if you ever want to fly airlines.
You don’t need a degree my friends, only a mountain of money.
@@tyflys7170 those 1500 monthly payments are terrifying but do what you have to do.
You make this LOOK smooth like butter. Great job, Mike.
i’m in the same boat as this dude. i have an associate’s degree, but i’m hoping to get a good paying part 135 or part 121 gig without a bachelor’s degree
You don't need College but a lot of employers look for it, but a lot of schools offer an Associates degree in Aviation
Get rid of your second “but”
Congrats to Hayden. I'm due for an interview soon brotha Mike when we link up. #salute my gud brotha!!!!!
Many airliners have recently "dropped" the requirement of a bachelor's degree to fly for the major airlines due to the pilot shortage. That does not mean you'll be hired at the majors without one. Recently some pilots have got hired at majors without a bachelor's degree. With that said, there's no shortage of applicants who are applying that have their bachelor's, so not having one puts you in the "second tier" application pile and seen as a "less competitive" applicant causing it harder to get the job. Also the aviation industry is no stranger to furloughs and downturns, so having a degree makes you "less" likely to be let go during times of hardship compared to someone with just an associates or no degree at all. In addition, a degree is great for a career backup plan because all it takes is one medical emergency to end your flying career.
In my country, majority of the airlines do actually require having any 4 year course. It really varies to different airlines especially if you want to be a commercial pilot.
When you plan to become a working pilot, it's very important for you to also plan an alternative stable career. When flying momentarily subsides or the situation is not what you need, your alternative career can support your ongoing financial plans.
Best not to ever be a pilot between flying gigs with no money and nowhere to go.
Day 2 of asking, Would you kindly recommend options for the best budget low wing 4 seater please. Thanks so much.
True. You don’t need a college degree to become a pilot. Not one FAA Airman Certificate requires any level of formal education. Even having dropped out of preschool, you can get an ATP (when of age/rating) and even rack up a gazillion type-ratings. Getting a flying job is a different story.
Later in my career, I represented my company (part 121 major airline) at “cattle call” recruiting events. I’m now retired, but even to this day, there is still a pecking-order to airline pilot candidates. At the top are the four-year, aviation-major college grads - keep in mind military academy grads. And, even in the pool of college grads, candidates are ranked by GPA. That’s still the program. Any “flight academy” selling anything else - “come one, come all” - is grifting/fleecing their students.
Agreed. Other than the obvious I don’t feel he’s the best person to represent aviation.
So you agree that the only point of college is to fulfill the requirement, not to learn anything extra. Run with that.
College is overrated unless you're going for a specific field.
Flying for airlines requires college. Flying for other industries is the way to go. Flying warbirds is usually done by owners who restored the planes. How about trying to get a job at Buffalo Airways in Canada? They fly DC propellor planes and possibly don't require a college degree. The drawbacks are flying in extreme freezing weather and limited job opportunities. Family run business that may make you start at the bottom cleaning the planes.
@@tyflys7170 So the question is if the Airlines still require you to get a degree? Perhaps they give you a time frame to get one? It used to be a requirement before you could work, and the airlines preferred to hire people from the military.
I dropped out and don’t regret it
@@tyflys7170 cause I’m making 150,00k 6 months out of the year crop dusting. Wasn’t happy with the pace of the college and the fact that I needed my cfi to get the degree.
I'm trying to get my house sold so I can pay for flight school.
This is true,but you need to be OCD though
You do need a degree to fly in the military.
That's likely why he had a "falling out" with military aviation. Colleges give out bachelor's degrees to anyone nowadays. The military does not care what type of degree it is. He could pick the easiest major such as underwater basket weaving then still fly jets. I've met military career pilots flying with theater degrees.
Good on him! Earn a trade, eat for life. He has learned at a young age the value of investing in himself and ROI.
You are making a big mistake skipping college. The biggest mistake many pilots make is skipping college and going right to flying. All the majors who pay the big money want a 4 year degree. They want to see study habits. The military wants a 4 year degree as well. Without the 4 year degree you won’t make a lot of money flying. The big money is with the majors. Plus the majors are union. You earn a large multi million dollar pension along with earning a large income. This is huge when you retire! The nonunion pilots don’t get a pension. This is a huge difference! During college its best to get your private pilot license. This is a great prerequisite. Then after you graduate I would go to a big school like ATP or Blueline. The regional airlines recruit from those schools. That alone is the number one reason to go ATP or Blueline. There is a current pilot shortage in the airlines. The regionals are paying a record high salaries to pilots. After you work in the regionals for a few years you then move up to the majors. There are captains with some majors earning over 500k a year plus pension. Don’t skip college. If you need to go to Jr college for two years and then transfer to a four year school. Don’t skip college! If you do it will cost you millions in lost pay plus pension.
All college is good for anymore, is teaching you how to alienate half of your potential customers.
Run with that...
@@EJWash57 full speed. Just waiting for employers to stop requiring something so irrelevant.
