Considering that you do not even have a private license yet, or a degree, or really any other qualifications, you can rest assured that the landscape will have changed by the time you are ready to transition to a regional, and then again by the time you are ready for a major. The one constant in aviation is change.
Sincere interest and focused motivation can take you far in this industry so keep that up. But....you haven't even started step 1 of about 100. Keep your eye on the ball and get plugging on the first steps.
I completely understand what your saying...and I see that it will change. But choosing an airline makes me have to choose my education route.
For example...Envoy does not require a college degree and having a college degree doesn't make me any better than anyone else. That's what all Envoy pilots have told me. So if I choose Envoy I'd go to ATP Academy in the Dallas area.
However if I go to United (via ExpressJet or Republic) I need a degree (I need one to be competitive) so I would go to LA Tech or another college.
I'm not disrespecting what you're saying at all...but Flight School versus college makes a difference to my choice.
Thank you for you're help.
