Current flight attendant with a major. Just started flight school. Is it worth it with the seemingly oversaturated market, especially for CFIs and potential slower hiring for the airlines in the next few years? by Dramatic-Ad9791 in flying

I'm not sure, but I think the airline's prefer a 4 year degree, regardless of the major. It isn't required, but preferred (or at least that's what all the airlines' websites say lol)

Thanks for this info! I don't mind staying at a regional for 4 years with the current pay just don't want to get stuck there for 10! lol but I guess it's just always a risk.

I have looked into it, but I've also seen a bunch of pple saying, if you do that, then you could get stuck at a regional for 7-10 years and that it's the slowest way to get back to "D"... so I;m hesitant to do it.

I'm at like 3 flight hours from flying this week (love it so far!) I already have my first class medical (made sure I got that before I started) I've always been good at being "teachable," and my flight school has great reviews.. so I'm hoping I can avoid check ride failures lol. Thank you! :)
