Has anybody actually obtained an airliner management position on the back of one of these degrees then?

these courses are very new, so noone has actually completed one yet. the first one started in 2005 so they will be completed by december of this year. the guinea pigs are yet to look for jobs

Actually the City University course started in 1999 and the vast majority of graduates are flying - so haven't got management positions (haven't needed to!). A number did get jobs in ground handling at first as they graduated in the downturn after 9/11.

However, from the Air Transport Studies degree, which shares modules with the fATPL degree, graduates have obtained positions in flight ops in BA, Jeppesons, etc and one is now a senior manager with Air Atlanta.

Hello All - Esp Jordie baby - bet you can guess who this is :P HA

im on the degree program atm, and as jordie states first year you do several modules + PPL, second year is ATPL+Hourbuilding+CPL. Third Year (and a correction to what weas previously mentioned) consists of 6 modules ( spread over 2 semesters) and a dissertation......After which you go complete your fATPL,MCC and airline orienteering course.

The degree is good. It has variety in subjects and makes for a good fall back should anything go wrong. Its also good for progressing as a pilot within your chosen airline - leading to management positions etc. Overall, although nobody has completed it the degree with job in hand (which will hopefully happen by the end of summer), these types of degrees have been prooven with great success worldwide. Given that British Degrees hold a substantial worth, these programs are all very good and it comes down to you as an individual to decide which is best suited. Any Questions? PM ME :P
