College Credit in GOM

[fireflier11]

Quick question from someone looking into helicopter schools. I have a degree from a 4 year university in Aerospace (Professional Pilot) with 300 hrs. fixed wing. I also am close to a degree in Fire Science. I was wondering do any companies lessen the 1000 hr. requirement if you have a college degree? All help grealty appreciated.

By no means am I an expert, but I'm just going to guess. And I am willing to bet that it will make no difference. First off they are looking for experience, on the job experience. And secondly I believe that the 1000hrs is more of an insurance requierment. So you would have to have 1000 just to be covered.

Actually, they (secretly) prefer that you don't have a degree. You're more likely to quit, or to refuse to accept the rather rigid rules they have in place.
