jb2_86_uk I am considering this. Hopefully the uni open days will give me a bit more guidance, but right now its between mathematics and an engineering-based course.
BerksFlyer I was reading the airline survey by GAPAN (
http://www.gapan.org/careers/survey.htm) and it does seem to back up what you have said - education only ranked 7 out of 10 most important things considered by an airline when recruiting. However, I want to achieve as high educational qualifications as I can because, as you said, I can. It will only benefit me.
Could someone please clarify, would I be able to complete at least a PPL or beyond
during my university studies? Or is this a bad idea and I'd be better off waiting until after the course?
