at United college degree is preferred not required. Doesn't get much more major than united.

Translated, preferred means you better have a degree as opposed to not having one!

That is always one way to do it, go to college full time, build up big debt and no real meaningful flight time. There is another way that leads to success

This following example in the model of success in pursing flying job. We hired a 20 year old pilot, about 8 years ago. 1 year of on-line college credit completed, started working the ramp pumping gas in high school. He got hired hauling cargo in SA-227 as a F/O, at 18, got promoted to 208 Capt at age 20. When he had 1600 TT, 1100 MEL, 350 Turbine PIC, 1450 total turbine, he started as a DA-20 F/O at $33K, he was made a DA-20 Capt the day he turned 23, he had his degree completed when he turned 26. At that time he had 5200 TT, 4700 MEL, 5050 Turbine, 3200 hours 121 time, 1200 121 Turbo Jet PIC.

He has his on-line BS degree in Aviation Management, and no debt, which the company helped pay for through tuition assistance. He has been offered a job at a major, turned it down, didn’t want the pay cut.

The typical 26 year old 4 yr. degree college graduate has TT 1200 350 MEL 15 Turbine. Who is the more competitive? TJ PIC is the ultimate resume fluff, but you can not be a full time on-campus student and build Turbo Jet PIC. In the future the airline jobs go to those with Part 121 Turbo Jet PIC time in the 1,000's of hours, the degree is not needed. Airlines that do not let the degree thing get in the way of picking up a highly qualified pilot. I have seen it happen too many times.

This guy just landed one of the most prestigious Corporate jobs in the US. Six figures, works 14 days month.

all part of the 2012 hiring boom

are you concerned that the supply of low expectation $2000/month pilots is drying up for your little outfit in YIP? Cause it's funny how you keep stoking that "Pilot Shortage" rumor as if you are trying to manipulate and flood the labor market or something.... give it a rest man... 120 people are interviewing a week at HAL for 6-8 jobs...

yes it does... Delta and Fedex but to name two that won't talk to you without one.

You may be right, but I think there will such an experience shortage by 2015 that experience will be the most important thing on a resume as opposed to to right now where a check in the box on the lower right corner determines if you will get an interview.

As per guidance from Avbug, I have not used the term "pilot shortage" since 2005. But there will be an increase in legacy hiring, that will be refereed to as a "Hiring boom". Check with me in a couple years and we will see what happens.

BTW Nice cheap shot at one the best things ever happened to me. Our pilots start at $3,000/mo and the 135 world is doing just fine. Great source of talent to fill our DC-9 and MD-80 seats.

Yes our QOL does sux, we even start out our company orientation with that side, if a pilot has specific idea of QOL that do not match JUS, then that pilot should not apply of a job at JUS. As far as work rules goes, everything ins writing, pilot policy handbook is issued to every pilot defining work rules, JUS ensures all pilot are home on their hard days off, no assigned working on days off, unless of course you want to break $100K by selling days off once you make Capt. But it is up to the pilot. Bidding for seats is defined, seniority is followed, never hired a CA off the street since 1998. We love it when our pilots move on to career jobs at SWA, FedEx, UPS, AirTran, Allegiance, United, American, Atlas, Delta, Continental, Kalitta International, Jet Blue, NetJets, etc But you have to go someplace to pay dues, and the bottom feeders are one of the ways.
