Get a useful education you can fall back on during the next lost decade. That’s not necessarily a bachelors degree. I helped hire many pilots, and I pushed forward candidates who showed dedication towards something for a significant period of time. That’s really what college proves you can do. I’ll never forget the deep sea welder I rallied for, who when asked why he didn’t go to college, replied “I could have spent 4 years doing keg stands and being hung over, but I wanted to make a lot of money, and master a skill, and invest the proceeds in to flying and training.” I was sold!

That education or trade training can wait right now. If you’re a good student get that flight training done ASAP. Everything at the airlines is based on seniority. Four years is a long time to lose in seniority. Right now the gravy train is running over but it could stop any time. Once you’re hired at your airline you can start concentrating on learning a trade on the side or get a Degree. If things turn South the first thing that goes is the, not having to have a Degree, requirement. I’ve been in aviation since 1982 and it’s never been like this, and it won’t last. If you have the opportunity to go to a full time flight school and get your ratings in 6 months time, do it. The difference in a year of seniority down the line could mean sitting in the co-pilot seat 10 years longer, costing you millions of dollars.

This is amazing ive been wanting to be a pilot since i was a kid but no having a Bachelors has held me back am going for it now thanks for the info

Interesting insights! Good work Daniyal!

If there were really. A pilot shortage, it wouldn’t cost me 100,000.

My wife is a flight attendant and both of us know pilots personally. There is most definitely a shortage. $100,000 is a small price to pay for what you could be making in 5-10 years. I’m starting in August.

Bud, you have to look at it in a different light. They're not going to hand out flight training funds like candy at Easter. Flight training is a 10-12 month (minimum) commitment. Most people probably finish in 1.5-2 years. Most people will wash out of the program due to time+ money required.

There _is_ a shortage. The $100K is just the bare minimum cost of the schooling, simulators, teachers... Even in my country, the airlines are slowly getting desperate and opening programs to make it easy for potential students to find it and enrol. Though, they still require them to shell these costs.

Don't do it just for the money, you will drop everything. Opportunities with other career choices to make tons of money is a pipewelder especially if you travel, I quit to work towards piloting.

Laiss Khairzada thank you! Very very insightful.

Woww...he reminds me. "Catch me if you can".

A degree is no longer a hard requirement, but it’s still strongly preferred. The regionals will absolutely take you without a degree. However, getting hired by a major airline will be more difficult. Go to flight school, and get your degree online while you’re a CFI and regional pilot. By the time you get to the major you’ll have your degree. The airlines could care less what you major in they just want to see the paper.

i feel it's not good advice to be telling people to get a degree. the reason I say this is because we shouldn't need a degree to be a pilot in the first place. telling people to do this will just be a waste of money for them, and will make the airlines continue to favor those with degrees. We shouldn't be going $100,000 into student debt just to get a degree in something we aren't pursuing.

It's a temporary shortage soon the terrible regional pilot's pay will come back .

They haven't really.. keep in mind "4000 hours" just means 4000 hours flying.. it could be that you flew the "same hour" 4000 times without really learning anything new but were just doing the same flight in your local area over and over again.. pilots go through enough in flight school and later in type rating to be more than qualified to fly airliners.. in Europe there is no hour requirement to be hired by an airline and there are no problems with the pilots

what i am wondering is, after getting all the certificate at Apt which only guarantee 250 hours but to be hired by an airline I need 15000 hours. my question is, how or where am I going to complete the hours necessary after getting all my certificates?

@brinjal1371

Not 15000 it is 1500

Is this why there are so many near misses at airports this year? I’ve read about the issues stated by pilots with dated ATC tech, staffing issues, but as a frequent flier I feel like 1,500 hours is a drastic reduction.
