HI GUYS..FROM AN OLDER FREIGHT PILOT FOR THE PAST 18 YRS....AND..."HAD" TO DO THAT AS I WAS JUST ONE YEAR SHORT OF MY COLLEGE DEGREE...AND WORKED IN ANOTHER CAREER FOR MANY YEARS AND A FRAGMENTED EDUCATION.... BEFORE FINALLY ABLE TO FLY FOR A CAREER...BUT...
SO...GET YOUR COLLEGE DEGREE...I.E. SHOULD BE IN AVIATION..OR AVIATION RELATED DEGREE...BUT AT LEAST A BATCHLOR'S DEGREE ETC....OTHERWISE THE AIRLINES WILL NOT EVEN CONSIDER YOUR APPLICATION...INCLUDING THE MAJOR AIR CARGO COMPANY'S...THEN ...JUST OUT OF COLLEGE...BUILD FLYING TIME ANYWAY THAT YOU CAN....I.E. WITH A NIGHT CARGO COMPANY OR CORPORATE JET CO....UNTIL YOU CAN QUALIFY FOR THE ATP CERTIFICATE...HOPEFULLY FLYING AS CAPTAIN ON THE CARGO AIRCRAFT OR JET.....AMAP!!!...AND TURBINE/JET TIME IS VALUABLE...FLYING CORPORATE JETS..IS GREAT...ESPECIALLY TWIN JETS...BUILD 1,000 TO 2,000 HRS...AND GO FOR THE GOLDEN RING!!!!...PROBABLY LESS TIME IS REQUIRED NOW...BUT THE COLLEGE DEGREE IS MANDATORY!!!!...SO...DO IT!!!
