Can I have Associates in Applied Science? It goes like this, If I get 18 Credits from my regular college my flight school will give me 42 credits and that will be my Associates in Applied science. Is it enough to get a job in Major Regional airlines like American Eagle or Skywest?

As far as flying for the regionals you will be able to fly without a four year degree. If you want to move through the regionals on to the majors you will need the college education.

Ok. This is a source of misunderstanding by a lot of people. A degree is not required at most airlines, regional or major. However, there are a few that do require it. It is a definate plus if you have one though. It will put you in a category above the applicant that doesn't have a degree. This shows the airline that you have the intelligence to see something through to the end.

It just makes you more competitive, I got my A&P so I only needed to take 12 more college credits to get an Associates of Science. My friend did the same thing also and after flight school he got a job as F/O for Delta.

Regional airlines do not require degrees. You need a 4 year degree for the majors.

A lot of regional air carriers dont require one but it would be better. Major airlines do require one.

Yeah, you'd be at a huge disadvantage. Take flying lessons first. I think you'd be the ONLY person without a pilot's license. I'm surprised they'd even allow people into the program without one, actually.
