Don't waste your time OR your money. No one will hire you as an Aircraft Maintenance Manager until you have several YEARS of actual hands-on working experience as an A&P Mechanic. All the college classes in the world won't get you the job any sooner. And an Engineering degree won't help at all. Get your A&P certificate and start looking for a job in that capacity. If, after working in the field for AT LEAST 3-5 years, you STILL want to become a Maintenance Manager, THEN you can go back to school and get your Bachelor's degree in Aviation MANAGEMENT... NOT engineering.

I am a certified aircraft mechanic (A&P). I have worked as a Maintenance Controller AND as a Maintenance Manager.

The short answer is NO. You will not be issued a medical certificate of any class, and certainly not until your application has received a very thorough review by the chief medical examiners office and you have been medication free with no adverse side effects for a minimum of six months. It will probably entail one or more psychological evaluations (at your expense) over the course of a year and there will be mountains of paperwork. In the end you stand a very high chance of being denied.

Unless you contact an independent aviation medical consultant familiar with psychological / neurological conditions, who can help steer you through the maze of procedures and tests, you essentially have zero chance of succeeding. It will be costly, time consuming, and likely to end badly for you even with professional assistance. You'll be lucky to obtain a 3rd class certificate allowing you to earn a private pilots license..

Of all possible medical history issues, you happen to have one that is of utmost concern to the aviation establishment. Sorry to say so, but your chances are very dim to nil. Even if you try to conceal your medical history, the scars are a dead giveaway to any examining doctor and Pandora's box will be wide open.

FACTS all.

In all honesty being a flight attendant is just a glorified waitress, or waiter. There's no necessary qualifications, apart from maybe the more expensive airlines tend to hire the more attractive candidates. It's not a terrible job and you get to see some amazing places, but it's certainly not all it's cracked up to be. I'd weigh up different options before you choose to become a flight attendant.

Too many engines and too little wing. It will only stay in the air by burning lots of fuel but the wings are too small to hold much fuel.

In building aircraft for over 110 years man has discovered that there are few advantages in having more than 4 engines. The B-52 has 8 smaller engines and the B-36 had 6 piston engines and 4 jet engines. However those designs are over 60 years old and 4 is all we find necessary these days and often less.

None of them are cheap.

Probably the best value for money for a new pilot is the David Clark H-10. Pretty much the industry standard for many years.

There are as many opinions as there are pilots, but I use Bose A-20s and they are the best I have ever used. At the price, they darned well ought to be!

Remember, you can't get Hi-Fi for Low Dough!

It is likely that your initial income in avionics engineering will be far more superior to the level of income you would get the first 10 years as pilot in any capacity -

Maintain your employment initially as avionics technician, and you can derive that income to pay the expensive pilot training and later make a choice - Pilot training to be commercial pilot is (in USA) at least $60,000 and takes 1 year -

Being avionics technician can always be your back-up in that case -
