I'm planning on going there after this year. I'm finishing a university degree first. Are you planning on staying in residence?

Quick question: I'm not entirely sure if this has been touched upon yet... But I worked the ramp at a particular company. This company was saturated with hopefuls that slaved for countless months, even up to a couple of years! What I didn't understand was when the company hired outside the company w...

CD, that's incredible! You must have some pretty amazing stories up your sleeve!
We need more instructors like that. Ones who are passionate about passing on the gift of handling an aircraft. I don't feel like I'm currently getting that - I feel like a piggy bank & an hour generator.

Cat Driver... There's a definite degree of reassurance in your story. I know many pilots who don't have degrees or diplomas who are doing quite well!! ... I guess for myself however, I feel a little more comfortable with text book knowledge. Yes I know, I know, text book knowledge often doesn't appl...

Let me first say, you sound almost too smart to be a pilot. :wink: Taking university courses in meteorology puts you ahead of probably 90% of all pilots in terms of academics.

Finish off the degree, use it to get a job, and fund your CPL out of the proceeds. You seem smart enough to do more than the minimum asked of you in the CPL course, and your degree will put you miles ahead of the dinky little aviation business management diploma that you'll get at a college somewhe...

Female pilots, on average, move up much faster in today's pilot industry. Part of it is a need for the airlines to "meet quotas" and appear politically correct and non discriminatory - so they tend to overcompensate. Note I am not saying that female pilots are any worse or any better than male pilo...

Tainted Gravity, If you found the PPL ground school difficult you will need your Met course to do your IFR. The PPL requires about a grade 8 education. It really is not overwhelming. The CPL is actually easier. If you want to fly for a living spend your money flying not sitting in a class room. I k...

I'd appreciate input from the xx's and xy's alike. I'm finishing an undergraduate degree soon. I've received an aviation scholarship to help me complete my PPL. I've worked ramps, drop zones, worked on networking & taken flights with acquaintances on various aircraft. My question is... now what? I w...
