Hi!
Thanks for the info! This is the most concise and actionable information I’ve found so far.
My husband is looking at a career in aviation, and I was hoping you might answer a couple of questions:
1. Do these hours in your article still reflect the current requirements?
2. Is age a factor in being marketable to regional airlines? (My husband is 45.)
3. Does it make sense to go to school for an Aviation Associate’s, Minor or Major degree?

Thanks in advance for any information you can give.

It really is that easy! But like anything, you have to plan it too. It doesn’t just happen. Along with everything else, think about the financial aspect of it, the time involved, and the sacrifice for you and your family. The rewards are great though and entirely achievable when you set your sites to it.

Thanks for the great entry!
