Not at all! I’m a first officer on the A350 and I can count on one hand the number of people who were like this. I have flown with hundreds of pilots and while we may have disagreements in the air, we’ve all kept it professional and waited until we were on the ground to discuss. I gather you’re not a pilot or if you are one, don’t have much experience flying with other people?
So far I’ve come up with: 1. It’s too expensive. 2. It’s too expensive. 3 It’s too expensive. Here in the U.K. at least, it’s about £15,000 to get a PPL. That’s more than half the average salary after tax, when most people are spending 90-100% of their money on rent and food.
My son is 15 years old .. How do he get started without wasting the time and heavy costs of the school is there any agency or school that will give us guidance on how he can start his career as a pilot
Are you saying you "Like" that? Because, "Poor" is an Attitude, while "Broke" is a "Temporary Condition!" Just saying! Today's situation isn't necessarily "Forever!"
What about if you are lazy but not when you are motivated towards something. For me, I was very lazy until I found my passion for flying. I'm still lazy, but anything to do with planes and flying that involves work, you would never guess I'm lazy
I have a passion for flying and currently taking flight school, it’s awesome and i encourage you all to have a safe and fun time flying! You should become a pilot if you want to, nobody will stop you from following your dreams. I’m the youngest student pilot with my first certificate at 16 years :D
@@FlyWithKay Thank you for posting these videos, it gets me prepared for when I start flying lessons, I did have one last summer, I am from the UK, thank you for posting these videos.
2 reasons are enough: I do not have money. I couldn't find any references for achieving entire ab initio pilot training selection process even I had passed dlr1 and dlr2. For instance: There was too many student which have heart problems or psychologic problems in the history of their medical registery. But they eliminated only me and candidates which are in the same situation with me, with no any feedback. We was not have any heavy registers in our medical history. Also they want IELTS score as a non-flexible rule but there was so many students have been selected which do not have enough score. I'm really broken. This video made me cry.
I could never be a pilot, but man I respect the hell out of the craft. It takes a special type of person to fly an aircraft regularly, safely & responsibly. I respect all the military, commercial and recreational pilots who prioritize people’s safety in everything they do, to make life more free and enjoyable for everyone else.
1- You’ll end up paying a lot of money and no guarantee job unless sponsored scholarship 2- Pandemic made things more difficult where regions are hiring their own and barely other cadets limiting your options 3- majority of the remaining opportunities you may find will cost even more for type rating so prepare them pockets
Aren’t regional FO jobs practically guaranteed because of the ongoing pilot shortage? Additionally, don’t the airlines normally pay type rating? As far as I know, U.S. airlines pay type ratings.
@@videogameplayer0552 it depends on the region, localisation became an issue for international pilots from different regions. For example I am a GCC member with EASA license, and I couldn’t find an opportunity that doesn’t cost me lots of money. I tried in Europe but “right to live and work” in Europe prevents me from even applying even if I met their other requirements. Other places I need to pay for TR and license conversion. The only option is to find the cheapest one I can afford
I have one of your reasons, well I have acrophobia which Im scared of heights. I didn't think of my phobia, but my 3rd goal/dream job was about to be a pilot.
Reasons why I want to be a PILOT 1. Loves travelling 2. OBESSESSED with Aviation & Aircrafts 3. Loves enjoying risky things and learning things that a normal person can't learn 4. Loves going out from the comfort zone and face the Phobia. I have (Phobia of Heights)😅 5. Loves watching sky, clouds and breathtaking nature moments 6. I don't have any problem if I di3 while trying to save a lots of lives. Its different cuz I di3d while trying to save people. And it will be a very heroic moment for my life. But I hope this type of bad moments don't happens. Still working for my dream.. ✈️
My son told me during his last year of high school that he wanted to be an airline pilot. We talked about what it took to become a pilot and i said I'd help him any way i could, because i thought it would be a challenging career that he'd really enjoy. We'd been discussing some of hte pros and cons for a while when he said "there's only one problem, Dad. It's that up-high thing. I'm scared of heights." That brought our discussion to a close!!
4) you enjoy having a little extra money in your wallet. 5) try flying a standard pattern in MSFS for 1.5 hrs in one sitting to see if you could handle it as a student solo....
@@dylanlopez7901If your vision is still 20/20 while wearing contacts, then you should still be able to be an airline pilot. You’ll just have a restriction that you are required to wear contacts when flying.
I only get scared of heights when I’m near a cliff or on a solid structure that could collapse. Physics doesn’t allow airplanes to just fall out of the sky.
3 reasons why YOU SHOULD BE A PILOT... 1) love the feeling of gravity 2) like/love to be above the clouds 3) JUST LOVE FLYING. Keep your heads in the clouds and keep reaching for the stars!
You should also consider the cost of a plane. Storage... Maintenance... Etc .. I'm guessing what... Maybe 2-3k monthly? Not factoring the plane purchase?
Yea I use to be scared of flights. And like 2 days ago I left Philadelphia for Orlando. And let me tell you… when you are in the air fear of heights just disappears.
Omg yes I can’t describe how right you are. I get so scared when I’m even 15 feet in the air but I’m totally fine, actually I’m excited when I’m 35.000 ft in the sky
I’ve just gained a pilots licence for twin prop aircraft along with the existing single prop license and it’s absolutely amazing to be flying as and when the farm timetable allows
1. Expensive 2. Expensive 3. Expensive If you’re not working towards a career and the magic 1500 hrs then you’re throwing your money away. I understand that’s what hobbies and fun is about, however what could you do with that same about of money. C172S g1000 Rental (at GNV) $173 an hour wet (The $500 cheeseburger weekend(s)) Buy used (trade-a-plane, 1979 C172N upgrade to 180hp) $139,950.00, plus registration, insurance, Hangar, maintenance, and more. Roughly 150 an hour and $30,000 -ish a year. Buying new $500,000 -ish and plus above and more in particular areas. Annual cost is more than buying used. Which is my annual salary at my current job (after taxes). Someone needs to be middle-middle class or upper middle class income just to do this more than once a month, quarter, or bi-annual checkride.
As a student pilot I can confirm you should not become a pilot if you have a big ego and your “always right”. We are litterally taught ‘xyz’ “can happen to me, I’m not invincible”. So, before you wanna jump onto piloting, understand it’s not only ambition, but it’s self controlled ambition with logistics 😊
Becoming a truck driver is harder than becoming a pilot because you have to keep on learning when it comes to backing, turning your truck around, and hard backing,
I've driven a trailer truck over 2 country's all weather blizzards ice so many states of emergency we still delivered . 2ft snow 500 miles over night delivered Brooklyn NY. Sea urchins factory I was there as I always am so big deal sun up let's fly lmao ya dare devil . 25 years 2 country's not 1 accident
I’m lazy, but I play aerofly and x plane 11 and msfs 2022, I’ve done like 30 transatlantic flights, is that good? I mean it should definitely get me more prepared than most. I’m a kid and want to be a pilot.
That last point, allways been a nervous flyer turbulence freaked me out alot, until I went on a discovery flight, I don't know why but now I'm not a nervous flyer at all
Hey!! @FlyWithKay I just got my certificate for pilot school and now I am set on track for my dream, commercial flying!! I am so excited! Got any tips anyone?
My friends wants to be a pilot, he's really good planes and controls, not in games, irl, he has been reading and stuff. I've played flight sims with him a few times and he tells me to do something and i am usually "excuse me, what? ". He can be a pilot. But i think i'll stick to medical and fire department things.
Laziness can be overcome. The 2nd .. well if your always right then all the work was for nothing. 3rd.. never was afraid in the first place even though I am. I fall under all 3 categories. 😅
Im scared of heights but specifically on the ground for some reason, I’m completely fine in the air (as a passenger I can’t fly) i wonder what the psychology is behind that
Aviation is a rewarding career that offers personal and career growth opportunities. A significant advantage of being a pilot is that you will earn a competitive salary and enjoy health benefits throughout your career.
Height is one of my few weakness but I can tell you this, I was not born to fear and die. I shall overcome my dear through several simulations and actual flights behind being trained.
First time I went overseas I was 10 and I remember crying at the airport terrified of getting in a plane but as soon as the plane started going fast and I felt the plane taking off I was in love with flying. Too bad I didn’t become a pilot but at least I’m training to be an ATC in the DR
1) thats because you are more jelous 2) im love flying and you can't tell us what to do 3) the ones who want's to be a pilot they can do it 4) it dosen't matter when its hard
I tend to be acrophobic in a tall structure. I have never had that feeling in an airplane. I even tried skydiving once. My first and last jump was on a static line, not a real skydiving experience. I broke my foot upon landing and that was that for me jumping out of planes.
I never felt I could be the detail oriented person that it takes to fly safely. A lazy person? No. But I do tend to be complacent and take things for granted. Skipping one step on preflight would be my undoing.
