graduate training scheme entry
I already have a degree in aeronautical engineering and am currently doing postgraduate study (PhD) in aerodynamics at university.
I still have a couple of years to go before i will be finished but when i do eventually finish i would like to apply to those airlines which have engineering training schemes as i would like to go into this field of engineering when i finish.
Alot of the guys in my office who are finishing their PhDs are finding that so far as industry jobs are concerned in alot of cases having a PhD is akin to having bubonic plague! You are either "over-qualified" or else they suspect that you are only applying for the job as a temporary stop-gap on your way to a more interesting job in research somewhere.
Does anyone know if this applies to the airline training schemes too? Will having a PhD make getting through the application-stage more difficult?
