Perfect or just solid career aviation plan?
Q. I've been doing alot of research in aviation education. Would do you guys think for a person starting out with no experience, would be the prefered plan for someone that wants to go into commercial aviation. State school or flight school? certifications? any prefered schools? regional airline hiring?
Asked by frank b - Thu May 1 06:10:32 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. State college for education. Local instructors for flight instruction. Commercial certificate. Instrument and multiengine ratings. Avoid flight schools, except to get your multiengine training. Commuter air carriers hire low time guys with less than 10 hours of multiengine time. Transition to a regional airline when you've gotten what you need from the commuter.

A. I made the switch from civil engineering to aviation, and haven't regretted it since. If you really want to be a pilot instead, go for it. An option to consider is double majoring. A lot of people at my university double major in aviation and usually business, or aero engineering. So you don't necessarily have to close the door on engineering.

Aviation refers to flying using aircraft, machines designed by humans for atmospheric flight. More generally, the term also describes the activities, industries, and regulatory bodies associated with aircraft.
