Question

In your answer please include weather i have to go to univeristy and get some some kind of degree after i finish school! or do i go straight to flying school?

Answer 1

once you are finished from school, you need to be perfect in health wise, after that you should join a flying school (make sure the flying school includes all the certificates) after that you should build flying hours and then once you have flying hours you should join a small airline and train under them once your done then you should apply for a captains post....

Answer 2

Unless you can get flying experience in the military, it is a long, slow, expensive process. A common path is to get your private certificate; figure a month or two and $6000. Then your instrument rating, another month or two and another $6000. You will need to build time to be able to go for your commercial rating; figure $10,000, plus another $5,000 to get the rating. Now you go for an instructor rating (another $6,000), and then you can actually start earning money. When you have 1500 flight hours logged, you can get your ATP (another $6,000), and if you have got some turbine engine time (many thousand dollars more), you can get a job which actually pays a living wage.

Answer 3

get your private pilot's license, put in flying hours,, because you will need a lot of them, like thousands,, and also take airline carrier training in new mexico,, it doesn't happen overnite.. Money and training,then no guarantee you will become a pilot for a major carrier,,as if you did get hired, you will have to start at a smaller airline,like Mesa Air...
fyi-I am sure there is more,, but it is a start...

Answer 4

Join the military. The airlines are a Good Old Boys' club.

Answer 5

go to pilots school and you will start your studies
