I saw someone mention you need a PE to get the interview, what exactly is a PE? Also thanks to anyone who is willing to help me on my journey by giving me advice or guidance, wish you all the best 😉
Your not going to be able to do any flying in the military without a 4 year degree. Even online, that’s a a bit overly optimistic in a year or two. Have you thought about getting your degree and ratings then applying for a spot in the guard? That could be a good route without committing to the military up front. You also know what your signing up for. It would be quite a shock to sign on the dotted line and then get assigned drones instead of airplanes.
PE is a Personal Endorsement from current FedEx pilot. You have to know someone personally(or at least should have to) and have to have flown with them to get one.
