Answer 1

It is very complicated and you need to take flying lessons and have so many flying hours under your belt before you can apply to become a commercial airline pilot.

You best start saving up because flying lessons are really expensive and If memory serves me well you will spend about 20,000 pounds before you get your licence. Of course it depends how quick you learn.

Good luck!

PS Go and speak to the careers advisor at college they should be able to give you all the information you require.

Answer 2

If you really want something then you can do it without a degree although obviously it helps. If you can not get the direct entry training position with an airline here are some alternatives no ones has put to you yet and might be worth you considering to explore. It worked just a few years back for some one very close to me who, at the time was the youngest chief flying instructor at a UK flying school, a PPL examiner, an approved tutor for RAF sponsored youngsters working towards a PPL, and now has a commercial Capt's. seat. All from an ordinary secondary school and no degree. Work like mad at anything legal, pub work, unsocial hours shelf stacking etc. and save. Speak to local flying clubs and train to obtain your private pilots licence ( PPL ). Then hire a light aircraft and just fly, fly, fly to do what they call hours building. You'll have lots of disappointments when the weather is not right but eventually you can then train as a flying instructor teaching others to get their PPL, in turn your students will be paying for the aircraft while you build up yet more hours. Train to be an examiner for would be PPL's. Do your exams, depending upon how your hours and exams build up you might get your commercial licence, frozen, until you reach the required hours. Then stick at it, you'll get so close but not quite make it until one day some one will give you a chance. At one time going to the USA where prices were less and the weather more guaranteed was an option. Get the various magazines eg. Flight International and read the various ads. Ask you local council for details of any educational grants which might be available from local charities. Good luck - the view from up there is wonderful.

Answer 3

Mathematics and Physics !!! I know that for sure ! Then approach a major airlines and enquire about them training you. Beautiful profession with ONE very serious drawback, one which many pilot of airlines have to face.... AWAY FROM THE FAMILY FREQUENTLY. Not something they really like. Apart from that.... if you love flying..... JUMP TO IT !! Here in England, the youngest British Airways airline pilot, a pilot of Boeing 737s, is a girl of 22 !!!! Cool huh ?? 22 and flying and landing 737s...

Answer 4

Aeronautical Engineering. Computer Sciences.

Today's airplanes are very sophisticated computerized machines. Get excellent grades, take Air Force R.O.T.C., get pilot's training paid for and thousands of hours in multi-engine jets at someone else's expense, resign your commission after about 8 years and go find an airline, more likely, they'll find you.

Answer 5

From a guy who used to work for Easy Jet as a cabin clue I heard that some air lines have a kind of scheme for you to be trained as a pilot, but first you have to work for the company as a flight attendant or cabin clue or something for a few years. He said that Easy Jet probably had one, but he couldn't really remember to the details as he was not going for it. So maybe you should check with air lines. But it's not gonna be easy at all.
Good luck.

Answer 6

Join the millitary. The planes are a lot faster and when you leave, airlines would love to employ you.
