to the guys who have no university or aviaiton college,
The university or aviation college requirement has always been there.It was there when I was hired WITHOUT EITHER one.I had about 4500 TT , 3000 turbine and some turbine PIC.
And NO my dad is not a pilot and I had nobody inside helping.
What counts is the overall package, the overall experience and your personality.
The university degree is not a definite pass or fail thing and I can attest that most guys I was hired with did not have one.
The talk is 600 pilots in the next 2 years so i am not worried for you guys ,I am sure all of you who have decent hours will get a chance.
You guys are right, I would prefer being piloted by a guy who is a good pilot, not one that just got in because he has a degree in Underwater Basket weaving.Luckily common sense does prevail here and AC has, does, and will hire many more pilots without university degrees.(just flew with a guy who has an engineering degree and he flies like s....t, nervous, pain in the ass.)

Good points meaw, but how is the hiring board supposed to know what kind of person you are from an online application. You could have everything AC wants, but never get the call because your name was never hit with the dart!??
