| Why earn a degree in Aviation? |
| Flight training is just the start! For aspiring professional pilots, competition is fierce. The airlines often have thousands of applicants for a hundred or so available slots; corporate and fractional operators are swamped with resumes. A college education is an important asset for both newly trained pilots with high-flying dreams as well as professional pilots seeking to upgrade to the airlines. Not having a degree often disqualifies applicants for a chance at the best jobs. |
