I also have my sights set on becoming a pilot. I had planned on getting my degree in either physics or space science rather then engineering, just because I've always had a fascination with that sort of stuff. However, I have been thinking about mechanical or systems engineering as well. Does it make that much of a difference that I should choose an engineering degree, or just go with whatever interests me?

Do whatever interests you... The subject is trivial, it's the degree that the CF wants. My degree was a BSc in Geography and Environmental Sciences. I didn't really think I was going to get a work-related job from it, I just knew that I could stomach 4 years of that particular subject. Besides, my last year equated to spending two weeks on a Cuba beach, drinking at the swim up bar - I got an A for that course!

well to tell you the truth the most important thing would be knowing the controls to the plane or whatever you wish to pilot, then you need to worry about the rest. I myself know no more then that so listen to the others on the other stuff.

Cripes what a loaded question. Kinda feels like a hairy paw reaching out from under a bridge - but what the heck, I'll play.. ;D
[tongue in cheek on] Apparently, an American study conducted a few years back proved that any high-grade moron could be taught how to fly a taxi with wings. Hitting the right target seems to be the hard part [tongue in cheek off]
Lemme put it this way, my bro in law has a degree in computer sciences, is smart as a whip and currently a Major in the air force. He didn't make it through pilot training - he maintains the things instead. Had nothing to do with smarts - everything to do with hand-eye coordination, rapidity of reaction - that sort of thing. Have fun >

Thank God. I was under the impression that there was a complete prohibition on hair care products. As a matter of fact, I have been experimenting with "natural" styling products (tree sap, moose droppings, armpit sweat) to offset the possible loss of my dippy doo.
Happy New year y'all.
AESOP,
Three things navs should only say:
1. Good job pilot,
2. No, your right pilot, it was my fault
3. I'll take the fat chick.
