Stupid troll has borrowed the family computer.
They say you have to have 20/20 vision and that almost no one can afford the training to be a pilot, unless you get that training in the armed forces. So have the doctor check your vision and if you're lucky to have 20/20 perfect vision, look into military pilot's training after college.
Come back in about 10 years after you have completed a Bachelor's degree from an accredited university.
Join the sir force when you are 18 years old and tell them you want to be a pilot.
Air lines hire air force pilots all the time after they are out of the service.
Check into local pilot training courses in your area. I'm certain you have one around at an airport (public or private one). Search for Flight Training School.
Get a private pilot's license. You will need that first. While you are training for that license, ask the instructor on the ways to become a commercial pilot. He will most likely have that answer for you.
The same as any career. Training, training, training. And experience. Being a pilot also needs lots of money unless you are lucky to have a rich benefactor, sponsorship, or can find ways to pay your own way.
You have to be 16 for the job and the license.
First, get 200,000 in dollars or pounds or it will never happen!
Mind you neither you become a chef or a slot car racing driver!
Step 1; In the USA get a college degree. Any degree will suffice. Without a degree you won't have a very good chance of being hired since 99.9 percent of successful airline applicants have one.
Step 2; Go to a flight school and obtain a commercial pilot certificate with instrument and multi-engine ratings. Plan on also getting a flight instructor certificate because teaching is the easiest entry level job to get in aviation The current cost for all this training is in the $65k to $90k range
Step 3; Work several years as a pilot until you meet the experience qualifications for obtaining an Airline Transport Pilot certificate
Step 4; Get regional airline job. When you have enough experience doing that then apply to the major airlines. By that time you will probably be over age 30.
This costs a LOT of money. Your other option is to get a degree and try to enlist in the military as a pilot. The chances of succeeding aren't high but if you do succeed the training is free and the chance of becoming an airline pilot later on is very good. The drawback is you'll spend 10 years in the military first and you'll be over age 30 when you become eligible for civilian employment.
Finish High school, go to and graduate from college. Get flight tranning. The best place is the military. Barring that get your private license, then multi engine license, then apply for a job as a co pilot after ten or so years as a co pilot you may become a pilot.
- What is the best path to becoming a commercial airline pilot? I have heard going into the Navy or Naval Officer Academy is a great way, but i'm still not sure.
- Can I become an airline pilot for a major airline if I go to college for a computer science degree (Bachelors Degree)? And also why is their so much debt in order to be a airline pilot? Is it because of people choosing the "go to college for aviation" sort of route?

- Is it possible to work as an Aircraft Mechanic (A&P) and a Pilot for the an airline? I'm going to get my A&P license soon and I've decided to do my pilot training next.
