Will an Aeronautical Engineering degree help me become a pilot?
Categories: Engineering Degrees
I’ll be going to university next year in the UK and am wondering if an aeronautical engineering degree will help me get a job at one of the major airlines, I’m talking BA or Virgin. Obviously I’ll go to flight school after I get my degree, OAT and I will have my ppl before I go to university.
I have read many conflicting reports about it not helping people on bit, but surely this degree would set you apart from the other applicants without it?
Danke!

Logically it should.
The candidates that usually go to the top of the list are those who flew heavy haulers in the military. Thousands of hours of experience and flight time.
Your degree will probably place you right behind them, and above the rest.
