How do I become a pilot?

There is no difference in pilot training between flying passengers or cargo -

The license you obtain in training is valid for both -

Pilot jobs with major airlines such as FedEx or United are... HARD TO GET -

So, rather than saying "I will be pilot with FedEx" just say "any major airline" -

And consider yourself lucky if it is Alaska Airlines or Southwest -

By all means, consider Air Force ROTC in college if you are excellent student -

Ex Air Force or Navy pilots are always preferred by major airlines -

If you do your training as civilian, it will cost you a fortune -

And you will have to suffer misery salaries for at least 10 years -

No major airline will consider you out of a flight school with 300 hours...

Good luck -

.

after college, two choices:

1) military, if you can qualify (very few people can)

2) civilian flight school, if you can afford it (a lot of people can't)

3) If you want to fly for FedEx, or any other large passenger or cargo airline, after getting your college degree and finishing flight training, plan on working about 8-10 years as a pilot in smaller aircraft first. Or, if you can get into the military as a fixed-wing pilot, after your 10-12 year enlistment is up, you'd be a shoe-in candidate.

Civil aviation pilots: you may take an examination to join in the College of Civil Aviation and accept the training

Military air pilots: pass a strict examination
