Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply and the link to the FAA website. That's a very nice database to browse through.

One thing I have read in a few discussions is that what you focus your degree on really "doesn't matter". From your experiences, is this true? For example, to secure a job in the aviation industry, would it be sufficient to major in business management, or would it be vital to major in aviation business management?

I've heard and read about LASIK and PRK in my quest to find the military's stance on it. From what I read, the Air Force considers any type of eye surgery an automatic disqualification for flying, and the Navy has a very limited number of slots available for pilots to receive LASIK and participate in a study on the surgery's effectiveness. For now, it looks like eye surgery will remain on the backburner. As much as I would like to fly, I also have a knack for the "business end" of aviation, and I think that's just what I may be looking for.

Thanks for your advice - I'm very appreciative of it.
