What's the best route to be a commercial airline pilot?
Hi, just looking for some advice. I have always wanted to a be pilot for a commercial airline but i'm not really sure of what the best route is. I have heard airlines always look for someone who has a degree, I am currently in my first year of computing but I could transfer to an Aviation with pilot studies degree course, where I also could obtain my PPL so do you think this degree
would give me an advantage? Also, where do you go from there? I have had a look at some airlines website and found airlines like EasyJet and Thomas Cook use CTCmcalpine but how does everyone else learn? One more question, is their a specific prescription for eye sight, and could I wear my specs for the eye tests for the (class 1???) medical certificates I would need? Im in
the UK if that makes any difference to anything.
Many thanks for any advice you can offer
Daniel
