What are some of the potential pit falls in a pilots career?
Hey everybody. I’m 22 and looking for a little help with my career plans. My objective is to become a pilot with a major comercial air line. I understand that the typical track is college degree, flight school, flight instructor, regional airline first officer / regional airline captain, major airline first officer / major airline captain. So far I’m at step 1. I just got my degree in Accounting (And…oh…no way I’m doing that for a living). I intend to start flight school soon but its got a price tag of about 50K. With college thats 100K in student loans. Not unheard of, but a little steep without almost guaranteed success. My interest is to learn of the pitfalls that may stop me from gaining employment with a major airline. The pay really seems to get good (100K +) after a few years with a major airline whether your a captain or still a first officer. Any pilots out there? How’d you get there? Or what stopped you? And how long does it usually take to go from a regioal to a major?
oh,well.join the national Gard,get money to go to school ,receive a training and be paid for it,be a” chopper “pilot ,more demand in the private industry,good pay for good qualification’s, airline pilot is becoming more and more like a bus driver,helicopter pilot are in demand by many wealthy people’s and companies,you have more choice’s to pick ,and one day you may purchase your own .you will never purchase a commercial plane.your choice.good luck
