I graduated a semester early at age 21........ its very possible, ecspecially in these aviation universities bc when you get ratings quick they give u credits, hence, you graduate EARLY!

i know for certain that TSA and Xjet hire the under 21 crowd. a guy in my class at TSA quit when he got hired by Xjet. he was barely 19 when we started class in January.

Yea I got my degree from Miami Dade with flight credits too. Im only 20 and I wanna start flying but the 21 thing is a delay of sorts.........whats chances are there for XJT to pick up a 20 yr old?

I want comair but they want 21 no matter what im guessing? Any younger guys?

i'm sure if you have 600/100 and a pulse Xjet will take you. they, like everyone else, need pilots

with a couple summer classes and a little ambition you can graduate in 3 years with over 1000TT.. and still have plenty of fun in college!

Just wondering with the starvation at 9E and others that only hire above 21, wouldnt their chances of getting more kids be better?Just wondering....

Stay in college, get a degree, and then you won't have an age issue. Without the degree your career path is going to be a short one.
