Aviation Jobs, Airline Jobs and Jobs in the Aviation Industry
Aviationuniversity.com is dedicated to helping people interested in aviation jobs get the proper aviation education and pilot training needed to succeed in today´s aviation job market. As a result of our dedication, several of our graduating students have found aviation jobs with regional airlines.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has stated the following:
- The best opportunities for jobs will be with the regional airlines and business aviation.
- Pilots usually start with smaller commuter and regional airlines to acquire the experience needed to qualify for higher paying jobs with national airlines.
- Most pilots traditionally have learned to fly in the military, but growing numbers have college degrees with flight training from civilian flying schools that are certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
- Although some small airlines will hire high school graduates, most airlines require at least 2 years of college and prefer to hire college graduates. In fact, most entrants to this occupation have a college degree. Because the number of college educated applicants continues to increase, many employers are making a college degree an educational requirement.
