A degree for sponsorship
Having just looked at a topic posted on one of the forums claiming most people dont have degrees and gained there ATPL/CPL, I am curious and can someone answer me this; how do airlines percieve this when students apply for sponsorship?
Do they prefer you to have a degree or does it not matter?
Does a degree help you prepare to sit the ATPL exams eg going through uni and having to cope with exams/asisgnments etc makes that person a more able candidate?
Do the airlines eg BA or Virgin think a uni graduate has more to offer in terms of being able to cope with pressure, deadlines, tasks compared to someone who has worked for the last couple of years?
And last of all mane airlines prefer the science/engineering based degrees, can anyone comment on this?
Appreciate the feedback
