Answer 1

Flight schools teach flying. They do not care if you have a degree or not. They are a business and willl take your money with or with you having earned a degree.

BTW- If you plan on getting a degree in Aero Sci, you won't need to go to a flight school as your flight training is included as part of your college aviation program.

There are two civilian ways to become a pilot:

1) Get get your degree at any university in any major and get your pilot training via a flight school or academy (either before, during or after college).

2) Do both your degree and flight training with a university as part of an Aero Sci program.

Answer 2

No, but if your English is as bad as you posted here they'll think you are an uneducated knob and will probably not hire you.

If you do a degree in Aero Sci, flight training will be part of your course curriculum so you should graduate with a CMEII and possibly an ATP and several hundred hours of flight time. And a huge student loan debt.

Airlines like to see a degree although it's not absolutely necessary. The military requires a degree to be commissioned and limits pilots to commissioned officers, with the exception of Army helicopters in some cases.

Answer 3

No. Not true. The airline jock is right. Academic accomplishments have very little to do with a person's flying ability. It takes hands, head and heart to be good at flying.

Answer 4

if you got brains the air force will take you not to worry about over qualified appears a Little brushing would not hurt you ether 2ya

Answer 5

The fact that you had to ask this question demonstrates that you will always be severely UNDERQUALIFIED despite any amount of education you may receive, so you needn't worry.
