Hi Stephen, I've been following your channel for a while and I just wanted to say thank you for providing so much valuble insight into the hurdles people will face on their journey to becoming a pilot. Very few RUclips pilots cover the details of both getting the job/placement and training, let alone provide specific career advice, (especially for the UK). As someone thinking of pursing a career in aviation you've really helped in making the journey seem more manageable.
Hi Stephen, excellent video. This is the only channel which I have found that provides, consistent and valuable advice to those who are aspiring to become pilots. I am from Australia, and am currently deciding between two options. To do a fully funded uni + pilot flying course for the airforce (serving 9 years) or getting a scholarship to uni and starting flying school. If you have any thoughts, I would be glad to hear. But keep up the great work
Hi, if you are certain you can get a scholarship then go for that. Joining the Air Force will require you make a commitment which could take a significant amount of years.
By degree do you mean a bachelors or is an Associates degree good enough? I’m on the fence on getting my AA since a bachelor would be to expensive, is it worth it or no?
Hey Stephen I’m currently in flight school (21 years of age) and going to college now would be really expensive. Would I still be able to get hired at a major or regional without a degree with 1500 hours? I could get my AA which is only 2 years, would that help at all evanthough it’s not a bachelor?
Regional doesn't take degree but major takes degree as their eligibility criteria and if you have a degree it will be more useful at interview especially a 4yrs degree
Hello! This is Rini from India. I'm planning to do my flight training from USA, but the problem is how can I work in US airlines? Because As an international students we have to go back to our home country after finishing flight training. I'll be awaiting for your response. Thankyou!
💯. Getting a degree is awesome, but getting the flight training first in most case makes sense.
Absolutely, with flying time is of essence.

Getting an associates is still better than nothing. You can always get your bachelors at any time even when you are working as a pilot.

You can get hired at both regionals and majors without a degree. It helps to have a degree as you move up to major airlines but not required.
@@christophermatthew6779 okay and if I don't have a 4 year will a 2 year be more useful than no degree or in that case is just no degree fine?

Working in the U.S. requires a change of status. I would recommend doing some research online about it.
