For sure. Not sure if the return, financially, is there either.Oh, ya, not horribly inexpensive, either.

If you don't mind my asking, what did you study? I've kicked this idea around but I'm lazy and I don't know what having that piece of paper would do other than exist.100% honesty. When I got done, I felt no measure of accomplishment. I was just glad I could lay down the bag of bricks and have that dark cloud not follow me around wherever I went.
Anyone in a masters program will know exactly what I’m talking about.
Anyone have any recent experience of getting a master online while doing this job and being an old person? Cost? Time etc

I’d like to have my masters, but largely personal learning desire. Non-aviation.So, why?
Is it a personal learning desire? Social status? Is there a job title that requires it?

This is more or less how to look at it since, well, “officially” you can do this job with a high school diploma now. “Officially,” anyway. I personally harbor strong doubts that I’d be where I am without all the book learning.I'm doing something similar right now. If you're doing it for personal desire, then look at it like a hobby, with x-amount of time and money that you'd put into it. For some that's learning an instrument, or a language, or building something on the house. What you're committing is time and resources.
If you're doing it with a payoff/ROI in mind for future competitive offering, I don't have any advice for you, although that's why I'm doing what I'm doing. I think @Autothrust Blue might have some insight for you though.
Yeah, I got my MS and my WARN letter on the same day too. They’re both framed so that maybe someone, someday will puzzle over the contrast.100% honesty.

Oddly ALPA met the education with considerable indifference but it’s possible that is because I was already firmly in the grievance and representation world and there seems to be a firewall between that stuff and safety or quality assurance.
Low order wish I could find a law school I liked that would work with the schedule but alas.I'm starting my MS in Aviation Safety on Monday at the Ridd. It's partly because I am a lifelong learner, and partly because even though I don't know what I want to do when I grow up, I know that having another big resume bullet like that will at least hold the door open instead of me having to pry it open with things like charisma. I also have a strong background in aviation safety and this is a logical step.

I'm doing a masters right now. I'm half way through (more or less). I feel an immense sense of satisfaction thus far. Granted, there will only be more to study and learn when I get done, but personally so far I find the process really rewarding. In all fairness though, not doing it online (though there are some online classes as part of it).100% honesty. When I got done, I felt no measure of accomplishment. I was just glad I could lay down the bag of bricks and have that dark cloud not follow me around wherever I went.

Does your airline offer any program for it?Anyone have any recent experience of getting a master online while doing this job and being an old person? Cost? Time etc
Unfortunately no.Does your airline offer any program for it?
Ours offers fully online degree programs for crew through a partner university with a significant discount. It’s been a while since I looked at it, but the downside was the degree choices were pretty limited.
I want to do this. Not sure I want to go through Ridd to get it though.I'm starting my MS in Aviation Safety on Monday at the Ridd.
