When I joined the navy years ago, all the old WWII pilots and some Vietnam Cargo pilots at the local hanger asked why I was fixin them and not flyin them.
The only qualification these guys had when they enlisted, was a desire to become a pilot. Next thing you know theyre flyin a p38 or in NAM a big multi engine transport.
When did the selection process become like it is today, very difficult?

i’m 26 yrs old and never finished college. i have 1 yr under my belt. started working making pretty good money halfway through college and unwisely dropped out and started working full-time. i’ve been thinking about this alot lately and want to become a pilot which was my dream in middle/high school but never went through with it because people around me was very discouraging about doing that. they said i should just get a “traditional” job and live happily ever after. but now that i’m older, i really want go through with it and hopefully become a pilot.

what are the requirements? BA a must? just pilot school? also requirements within commercial airlines and private.

thanks.
i was reading previous questions that people posted here on Yahoo and so far i gathered that a degree is not a MUST, but HIGHLY recommended. i’m guessing that i wouldn’t be much of a candidate if the time actually comes and i interview with a major airline, they would choose someone with a degree than not, is that accurate?

in the real world, would i be able to get any decent paying pilot job without a degree?

monotonouspilot asked:


If you’ve read any of my other questions, you know I’m going to be a whirly pilot. I am going for my commercial license. I’d like to learn to fly planes eventually. I know it works that you knock a few hours off by going through plane lessons first, but does it work in reverse?
