Aviation Airlines?

Question

What is the most time you will have to be in college for Delta or Delta Connection ASA.For ASA i want to fly the crj700 and if i make it to delta the 737.Add in anyother info you think i need to know.

Answer 1

Well, normally I agree with AV8TRXX but I will have to dissent on this one. A degree is most definately NOT required at the regional level. Yes, it will make you more attractive but it is not necessary. The regionals are hurting for pilots so bad that they have almost all lowered their requirements to a Commercial ticket and 500 hours of flight time. We have new hire pilots starting at my airline with around 350 hours total time.

Now, at the majors, you will definately want to get your degree. I would say that if you are a quick study and upgrade quickly at your first airline, you should be able to apply to delta within about 5 years and be competetive.

Good Luck

Answer 2

For Delta?

A four year degree is REQUIRED.

For ASA?

College preferred but you can apply with a high school diploma or GED. However airline pilots with just a H.S. diploma are almost unheard of as they simply are not competitive candidates for the job with no degree at all. Get at least your 2 year, then you can complete your bachelors online to the 4 yr degree for the major airlines while you fly. ASA pilot qualifications link- http://www.flyasa.com/careers/pilot.php

Answer 3

Slow down...If your just starting the program 0.0 hours and your a quick study the earliest date to get through phase 1 is 12 months. Now your a new Commercial Multi Instrument rated pilot with 250-300 hours just like everyone else. If you select phase 2 training add another 12 months as a instructor to build necessary flight time .
