Hey there how are you, so I have a plan to become an airline pilot I’ve always wanted to be an airline pilot since I was 5 years old. I know it cost a lot of money to become an airline pilot. Since I like trucks too I was thinking of becoming a truck driver for 4 years while I complete my college degree in 4 years because I would need a bachelors degree to become a captain one day at a major airline and I would use some of the money as a truck driver to save up for flight school. I would already have my own apartment and my life but when I go to the flight school I would want to go to ATP flight school. But according to their description I would not be able to work and attend flight school. So would I have to move back in with my parents for the next 2 years while i complete ATP Flight School?! Or is there any way to keep living on my own and go to ATP flight school. Thank you for your time
Thomas,

Thomas,
The Flex Track program is designed for people who need to work while in the program. To clear something up, you will need a college degree to be hired by a major airline, not just to be a Captain there. I would imagine that driving trucks full time and going to college at the same time would also be rather difficult, but I am certainly not an expert not he trucking industry.

Well I was thinking doing online college courses. While I’m on the sleeper cab I’d be doing online college courses and also thank you for your response.
