My question is this. Why First Officers must hold a College or University Degree/Diploma (minimum 2 year course)???????

I have the rating and I have the hours????? and I dont mind commuting


Can anyone please please PM me with contact details for the good agencies that supply KAL or anyone else decent in Asia

I am 42 years old and have 1500 hours total and 1100 of them are on 737-300 Classic and 737-800NG. I think I am going to be made redundant next April and now doing some home work.
