FO Question
I am a college student thinking about a career in Aviation but have not taken the first steps to do so (I’m down as a business major) at my university. I was thinking about becoming a FO for commercial airlines. I have no flying experience what so ever but am interested in the career. Do you think it’s too late? I am going to be a sophomore in College. What advice would you give a person in my situation? If you are a FO what was your experience prior to being a FO? What are the top schools on the East coast of the US. Thanks.

There is a great deal of information already on this site - you'll struggle to get people to invest the time answering something as wide ranging and as basic as this - especially when it has been asked a million times before.
Do a search and you will find a lot of analysis and comment. These forums are best for more targeted questions when you have done some homework!
Good luck!

G'day Bally,
Most of the advice here is Europe-centric so what's applicable in Europe may not be so relevant in the USA. Try finding someone who's familiar with the market in the USA or I think there's a North American forum on here.
Good luck.
(PS, I *think* if you want to fly for the majors you'll need a degree - but I don't know for sure)
