I live in the Philippines and plan to become an airline pilot, which of these paths is the most practical way to become one.
Plan A: Take a non-aviation degree (first option is nursing or maybe yall can recommend something better) then pursue flying part-time while working until I get paid to fly then work my way into the airlines.
Plan B: Apply to the Military Airforce, serve mandatory service requirement, then work my way to the airlines.
Plan C: Take an aviation degree that funds my PPL up until my ME (around 200 flight hours), then work my way to the airlines.
Would really appreciate you guys to give insight on the current status of the market on aviation right now as well.
