I think Canadia is a lot like the US, where a university degree is highly desired(74% of American ATP holders) have one. There are a lot of Filipinos flying overseas, if that tells you anything about the terms and conditions offered by Filipino airlines.
I think there is a lot to be said about the terms and conditions set for pilot jobs in The Philippines.
It seems to be consistent with opportunities as a whole. A lot of underemployed and unemployed.
I think the ones who choose to stay at home probably prioritize being around family, home and a culture that they are at one with.
Does anyone have any examples of this personally? Maybe shine a different light on this/uncover anything that might make the choice of staying or leaving apparent?
Will flying experience or work/life experience sway the view of having a university degree or not?
