college degree

[gordie]

Hi!

Even thou this is my first post I have been reading pprune forums for the last 2 years. If you guys could give me an answer to one question I would be greatful. Does Air Canada require a college degree? Canadian has required it in the past but as far as I know AC hasn't. Has that requirement changed?

thanks

It's not a requirement.

Thanks for the info!

As for a lot of guys for me it was either work and pay for the flight training or complete a university degree and then start on my flight training. This way I had my commercial licence 1 month before my 20th birthday and group 1 instrument a few months later. And at the end,I even had some money saved up to go on the road trip. Aviation college was not an option for me even thou I would have preffered to go that way. I heard too many horror stories of people finishing their degree with $30000+ in debt and not being able to find any flying job.

if u get a girl who says she'll sleep with u, would u rather getting a bj first or just sex. obviously we'd like to get a bj then sex. BJ isnt a requirement, but it sure is good to have. just like the aviation college degree.

Along that line of analogies:

And Air Canada is the "stud" who every "girl" wants to sleep with, and a lot of "girls" will do ANYTHING for the chance. Some have even prostituted themselves. :}

When I first made it into a job working the dock loading twin otters, I was advised by the guys there to keep the fact that I had a degree to myself when talking to the chief pilot.

This country will always be in the dark ages when it comes to aviation !!!!:yuk:
