I know it doesn’t matter what major you do in college to become an airline pilot, as long as its from an accredited school, but I was wondering if it mattered if you do a Bachelors of Science or a Bachelors of Arts. I was planning to do a BS in Computer Science once I graduate High School.
Also, what majors would prepare me for flight school and training? (Obviously aviation/aeronautical degrees would help, but I want to do a major in something else that I can use to get another job.)
Rushan,
Wellllllll, since it doesn’t matter what you study AND the BS/BA distinction is based on what you study, the answer is no. It does not matter.

Rushan,
Really any major will do just fine. It does not matter one bit if it is a BS or BA. Actually, an aviation degree will really not do anything to help further your career. I know it sounds crazy, but the airlines just want to see a degree, the field of study does not really matter. I would find something that interests you and get the degree in that, then study aviation after college.
