Question

What are the chances for someone w/ an A.A. degree to become an airline pilot compare to someone w/ a B.A/B.S?

Answer 1

Some airlines actually still request and maybe require a bachelor's but I think this is just dumb....I would put much more faith in the guy with stick and rudder skills than the guy who can write an essay.....This won't do you much good when the shiot hits the fan....Good luck....

Answer 2

What is A.A. and B.A/B.S.?

Doesnt really matter. Im gonna get there soon and I dont have either.  I think that what you really need more than anything is a diploma in aviation and some flight expirience. Experience as a multi instructor is what really counts.  Start with reginal airline and move on up. Unless your talking about cadetship.  With cadetship you will only really get in with a decent background.  Can be quite competative.  But all you really need it a pilot licence and flight hours to get in there.

Answer 3

Slim to none unfortunately. Sure don't need college to fly an airplane. Any airplane.

Answer 4

--Depends on the airline.  Many require a BA or BS.
