Bonus points for college degree and maybe extra bonus points for aviation degree.
As far as what you need in the current environment to succeed show up ready to study hard and drink from the fire hose and be Instrument proficient!!!! You need to be able to HAND fly an ILS within a dot doing 160 knots 10 times out of 10!!! They aren’t putting you in a multi million dollar sim to teach you that!!!
