Does PSA want you to have a degree?

I'm an army helicopter guy and dont have a complete degree yet. I plan on paying put of pocket for my fixed wing ratings before I apply and was wanting to know if it is required or highly encouraged to have a degree first.

Thanks

Not required. I fly with plenty of guys who don’t have one.

Perfect. I plan to get one but if I dont need it right now I'll wait. Finish it up before going go a legacy.

I believe PSA is still paying for helicopter pilots to get their fixed-wing rating. I'd recommend you look into that.

I am looking into that. However I am probably gonna get my ratings first and use the 25k I believe it is to finish off my time building. Granted that I am successful with everything interview and all.

Best wishes. All the former military helicopter pilots I’ve flown with have been a pleasure to work with.

Thanks. That's very encouraging. I think that has to do with the possible QOL enhancement civilian flying is compared to military. You're flying with people who are genuinely happy with their job. But that's just a guess.

That's excellent to hear. I knew I couldn't be too far off.
