Answer 2

College subjects?  None, at least for the US.  Airlines only care that you have the minimum ratings and hours that they require.  All that matters after that is who you know, luck, timing and how well you interview.  Airlines don&#039;t care about what school you went to, your major or what courses you took.   Now you will of course need to learn about a lot of different things to get your ratings, but you don&#039;t have to take official college courses to learn that stuff.

Answer 3

I&#039;m sorry, Rob G&#039;s answer is quite incorrect.  Airlines are now hiring only college graduates with 4-year degrees as pilots.  In addition, of course, you will need all the appropriate flight ratings up to and including the Air Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate.  Most major airlines require at least 2,000 hours total flight time.

There are no educational requirements for the ratings themselves; the learning process for those is self-contained.  You will do better on the ratings if you are well grounded in math and the basic sciences.

The reason the airlines now require 4-year degrees is that the aircraft systems and flight procedures become more complex every year, and the airline hiring executives want to know that an applicant has good learning skills and can absorb new material quickly.

The degree can be in almost any field as long as it is finished.  Accounting, Business Administration, and Law Enforcement degrees are popular nowadays, in addition to the traditional favorites, math, science, and engineering.

It&#039;s a very competitive field, so be sure your grades are on the top level and you have a good record as a person of good character.
