wrote: An engineering degree would have no bearing on selection for flight training. In peacetime, when there are few flight school slots available and the services are being really picky, is that strictly true? Actually it is true. Degree does not seem to matter. Back in the 80's when I was working on a masters, I was also a contract simulator instructor at my old training base (Chase) and did an analysis for my statistics class of degrees vs completions. What I found was that there was absolutley no correlation between the type of degree and the succsess (or failure) of the prospective naval aviator. This was also a time when there was a relative surplus of pilots, so they could be choosy. What I found was that while there was an expectedly high percentage of "hard science" degrees, the recruiters did not seem to care - there appreared to be something more in the prospects background that got them selected. However, that was not the focus of my study and I did not have data to go in that direction. John Alger USN(ret) 1972-1997 // 1310,1320 TA-4J, A-7E, EC-130Q, P-3B |
