Hello,
This is my first post on this forum so allow me to quickly introduce myself. I am 28, currently working as an Engineer for a major US corporation in Atlanta. I have been flying on and off for about 15 years and finally decided to make the move towards a career change. I currently hold a PPL with Instrument Rating and have my Commercial checkride scheduled at the end of July. I am planning on getting my CFI in the Fall and start instructing full time by the end of this year.
My question was regarding 4-year college degrees that most Major and Legacy carriers require. I grew up in France and got a Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering before I moved to the US. I have been wondering for a while if airlines would have any issues with me having a foreign degree, and if my application would not be viewed at the same level as someone who got a Bachelor’s or Masters from a US university.
Have you heard of or even worked with anyone who was in this situation?
Any thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for all you do on this board, and for everything you are willing to share with the community.
Thanks,
Antoine
