Worth getting a degree with flight school?
Hi all,
Total newbie here. I'm 25 and about to bite the bullet and embark onto flight training (I have a Class 1 med cert). So far I have my eyes set on the Shoreham flight school and was wondering how much of a benefit would it to do the course with a degree included (at Buckinghamshire New University)
From what I've gathered, the pilot market is saturated with not too many jobs going round for airlines. I know this is going to be a tough and grueling journey. To the best of my knowledge, there are no open windows for airlines taking on zero hour applicants at the moment. Rather than sit and wait for one of those opportunities (which has no guarantee of getting selected) I may as well go ahead and learn to fly, and would the degree help much?
Realistically, I'm beginning to think that flying a big jet is a big dream but might end up having a job flying smaller aircraft.
Anyway, would like to have some thought and input on this whilst I dig more information from this forum and other places.
Thanks
