Hello,
No, a college degree is not required by many commercial airlines. However, some airlines either require a degree or assign hiring preference to pilots who have earned a degree. Here is an article on hiring requirements for airlines around the world: https://epicflightacademy.com/commercial-airline-hiring-requirements/
To become a trained airline pilot at Epic Flight Academy in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, USA you must:
