| Re: Which one would a airline hire?
[ QUOTE ] from Delta Airlines......... Be at least twenty-one years of age. Have graduated from a four-year degree program from a college or university accredited by a recognized accrediting organization. Post graduate education will be given favorable consideration. Hold a FAA commercial fixed-wing pilot license with an instrument rating. Hold a valid FAA Flight Engineer written exam (FEB and FEJ or FEX). [/ QUOTE ] Wow, so Delta prefers people with post-graduate degrees! Soon, they will have pHDs in the cockpit (I am sure thay already have some with doctorates).  Anyway, college is fun. I had a great time during my undergraduate at Virginia Tech. I wish I had stayed to finish up my Masters but I didn't. I am working on it part time now and boy it is hard! Get that degree. Not only to get preference during interviews but also for a back up in case you get furloughed, lose a medical or somthing else horrible happens. Mahesh |

I'm in college right now and it's a blast. I plan on taking some flight training sometime soon. Look at it this way, get the degree if not only to get into the majors but if aviation falls through you can always fall back on the degree. I think we can all agree on the fact that nothing is a sure thing in the aviation industry. -tiger |

Lots of stuff. The captain I'm flying with now has a masters in "counseling". Retired Air Force big wig, flew O-2's in "Thailand" (wink wink), flew the "Swing Wing Edsel" (F-111) and did a stint in the training command in T-37's and was the battle commander (or something like that) in Korea at Osan AFB. |

Right, so I am obviously new to this forum stuff. What does "being trolled" mean? I'm sure this its an obvious answer and I think I have an idea of what it means, but it never hurts to ask.
