$70 to$100k for flight training is a bit much. You can get what you need for way less. Do a little more research. The problem is gaining flight experience. Nowadays you need 2500 hours to be a co-pilot. Having said that, we are looking at a huge pilot shortage coming soon. All us old bastids are retiring. Trust me, flying is a better life than driving a truck (not that there is anything wrong with that) I have done both. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

"Don't give me a p-39 with a engine thats mounted behind" Boeing with co-operation with the airlines is considering "ab initio" (I think that means 0 experience) flight training. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Regional airlines because of low pay rates are parking airplanes because they can't find pilots. If this is something you truly want, you will suffer through all the low pay and other hardships to get what you want. Ask me how I know. Or you can become a programmer or real estate salesman or... Certainly nothing wrong with that either, if that's what you want. Major airlines get pilots from the military or the smaller regional airlines. If they can't, then they have to train folks from off the street with "0" flying time. Kinda scary when you think about it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |
