With the economic state of the airlines these days , I know a lot of pilots that are very unsure about their future . The happiest pilots I know are those working private airplanes .

I hate flying. It scares the willies out of me. So, I have not and will not ever take anything other than a straight through flight. During which, I am too busy praying for safety to do anything else! Well, between wiping the tears away. So, the answer is no.

a good start would be to get your private pilots licence, rack up lots of flying hours then go for your commercial licence, once you have that, you've cracked it, good luck

Being a pilot is fun, especially if you love to travel. There is always someplace new to see and the view is great. \nAn aspiring civilian pilot can do their flight training and earn their licenses & ratings via these routes:\n\nA university aviation program (career track)\nAn aviation academy program (career track)\nA local flight school or flying club (career track OR recreational pilot)\n\nIf you simply want to be a Private Pilot, you should go to your local airport and investigate the schools or clubs on the field. Then get PPL course and rate info from each. Not all schools or clubs charge the same prices. Some are much more expensive than others.\n\nTo become a Private Pilot in the USA you must:\n1)meet the physical/medical requirements\n2)pass a written examnation*\n3)log a minimum of 40 hours of flight time (10 alone as a student and at least 20 with an instructor)\n4)pass an oral exam*\n5)pass a flight test\n\n*study for these tests can be one on one with an instructor or be taken via a 'ground school' course.\n\nMy flight training and pilot career website addresses How To Become A Pilot, espcially for those on the career track.

Travel benefits and the chance to travel as part of your job.\nIts a customer service type of job.  Pilots work for airlines too.  They like to fly big airplanes and carry great responsibility.

Way back when people didn't trvel much because it was so hard.  Life has changed as a result of air travel. Of course you could join the Navy like I did. LOL..

If you are not ALLERGIC to studying biology(as I am to chemistry!)then I don't see any problem in your taking medicine as career.Once your studies in college begin then there will be no problem whatsoever.Its only a matter of initial hesitation and starting trouble.

The USAF is currently reducing the force by 40,000 people, so it may be harder than usual to get a pilot slot.\n\nThe answer to your question is less about what service is best for training pilots, and more about what service fits you as an individual, what their pilot's roles are, and what type of aircraft you wish to pilot.\n\nI would suggest contacting veterans who have served as pilots in the various services - which would be best accomplished by contacting your local VFW or American Legion office. \n\nDon't go through recruiters from the services themselves - recruiters are notorious sugarcoaters, and while there are many good ones, the bad ones have been known to stretch the truth (like a Navy recruiter that told me "Claustrophobia won't be a problem on a submarine...").  \n\nHopefully, someone who has actually served will answer your question and give you more information.

I am also fifteen and I am going to pursue a career as a pilot.  What you should do first, is go to your local airport, and go on introductory flight.  It alows you to fly the plane, and get a feel for it to see if you like it.  If you do, you should get your private pilot licence, and then get the rest of your licences and ratings if this is something that you really want to pursue.  It is $10,000 Canadian to get your private, and if you want to get all you ratings and licences, its about $50,000.  But if you really love flying, you should do it.  Sure it takes a lot of work and time (5-10) years to get to an airline, but once your flying a big heavy, it will all have been worth it.

There are some really nice pilot training schools throughout the country.  Not sure if there is one in Texas though.  The pay is fairly good, but like long distance truck drivers, if you count the time you are not actually at home, then that alone narrows it down to a lower pay scale.  If you had an email address posted, I would ask a few people whom I know, then I would tell you.  But you don't, so I can't.  Click on my avatar, and email me.  I can get back to you as soon as I can.  See ya.

I haven't been forced into taking a career,but when I was in high school it was popular to take computer engineering. When I told my friends I want to be a history major, they all laughed, but I took history anyway and I am now in college doing really good in it.  For me it's improtant to "love" the job that I am going to do. Some people just  go to college to make a lot of money, but I was looking for a job that I can enjoy doing, knowing I made a difference :).

There are different levels in the aviation industry and If you just want to be an air hostess through out, then I think it will depend on the age however if you aim at growing with in the aviation sector then there are a lot of room to move around with in e.g. ground staff, executives etc.\n\nHope this one is beneficial for you, \nHave a good one!

Well, I got this shocking news from a career counsellor reputed at national level that the automobile sector has got acute shortage of jobs for engineers..so better you don't play a gamble by choosing this stream.\nIf you have got enough studying power, aeronautics welcomes you..its not like other engineering streams that  you start studying two weeks before the examination and you would pass them...they demand thorough study..there is a stupendous scope in aeronautics specially after private airlines have run into the market...you can pursue research work at the government institutions like DRDO, HAL, ISRO, GTRE etc. after your higher studies.They even sponsor your masters after you get into them after doing BE in aeronautics..I know all this because I am also an Aeronautical Engineering guy..\nI hope you will not make a nasty decision..

Good luck. I graduated from the Academy of Aeronautics many years ago with a degree and the A&p LICENSE and those jobs were plentyfull then compared to today. I ended up working for the phone company and i recently retired, not to brag, a millionaire. All the guys that got hired by the airlines and aircraft companies lost their jobs over and over again.  I don't know of a single one of them that got to retire from an aerospace or aviation possition. You do, however qualify for most of the better jobs available in any industry..

You don't need to be a pilot, but it helps! Thanks for picking my answer as the best one for the other question! I love those web sites! As for the stuff to become a pilot, if you fill the astronaut requirements, you are set!
