Pilot salary. How to manage the money. 

Yesterday I wrote a review of the app. Thank you!

Same as i did! :)

See that's exactly how I'm planning to pay for my training, except I chose to do Aeronautical Engineering as it's a bit more closely related. :)

Thierry Van Tillo that's a great plan. Exactly what I'm going to do. 💯👨🏽‍✈️✈️📚🎓🌇🛩🛫🙏🏾🛫🛩📸✅

How are things going now?

Gosh Reece, you're so dramatic. No one said it's easy but it isn't impossible either. Guess what, you'll need a degree to show that you got knowledge in the area you want to work in. It seems like you are still living in the 80s where you didn't need a degree but just experience. There is only one thing i agree with and that is that you will not find a job in a commercial airline after just finishing flight school for 50k.

One simple reason is that your company will not like you talking about figures out in the public, or even among colleagues. Some companies might even have that written in the appointment letter. I'm not in the airlines industry, but at least that's how it is in my industry.

lol hi

Hey man quick question. I was going to buy x-plane as my first flight simulator. I am an instrument rated helicopter pilot looking to switch to airplanes soon. Is this flight simulator worth the money?

a swedish guy?)

I'm afghan and my younger is also training to be a pilot

F2F Saberi inshallah

@@personalchallenge8205 who and how is that going

Try your best and you will be whatever you want

Shreya K major airlines give sufficient pay for first officers. Regionals in America are not great and many times are not sufficient at an average of about $22 500. However in Canada they earn around $40 000 to $45 000 with $5 000 to $10 000 diems.

+Mentour Pilot where is the link???

It’s in a normal pool. Don’t worry

Thank you

+Mentour Pilot thanks!

***** Thanks. And thank you for making these videos they're very informational and helpful.

+Mentour Pilot thanks for replying! I will definitely check that out

I would assume it depends on how much money you'll make to save up. For most well paying jobs requiring education, if you can secure a low interest loan then it makes sense to get the education right away. But if you can make a fair bit of money doing something you don't want to do as a career to avoid paying extra interest if you get horrible interest rates then it makes sense to save up.

Please reply to this!!!!!!! Im in the same situation but my local fliht school doesnt need a degree

I think it depends which country you are trying to fly for. For example, in the US the major airlines will not hire you without a 4 year college degree, but (if I am not mistaken,) in most European countries it is not a requirement. Do research on what airlines you want to work for or in what country.

You should get a job and start saving up. After training you'll be in debt...with a degree you'll be even more in debt.

That's not always the case though. In many countries there are banks that have special "pilot programs" for student pilots. After you get your first job you just start paying off in little blocks which is perfectly doable. It is also possible to only loan a part of the total training cost and pay the other half by yourself (own job, parents, etc... for example). I've also seen that in some countries the state can choose students to sponsor them which means their entire journey to the cockpit is... free! It's not everywhere and you will have to pass tests where they choose a couple of students but I've met fellow pilots in Sweden for example who graduated and didn't pay anything for their training. Also to answer his first question if you can go to a training right after high school the answer is yes. It can be an extra plus on your CV if you have a degree but then again you payed extra, waited another couple of years (graduating on a young age is an advantage as a pilot) but I myself came straight from high school when I started my training and I've met many others too. I think the mentality that pilots should be extremely highly educated candidates with high degrees is something from the old days, doesn't matter how much smarter or many degrees my other colleagues have because at the end we still have the same piece of paper saying we are commercial pilots :-)

If you're an American you can become an officer in the air force and try and get a pilot slot and then serve 10 years as a pilot and then switch to airlines afterwards. Airlines love hiring former military cargo pilots. The only issue is getting into air force pilot training is competitive and requires a college degree. I am aiming for a pilot slot and am about to go to college, but I'll have an "easier" time getting one because I am going for a technical major and am good at school and have high standardized test scores. For others it is more difficult. You can even get scholarships from the air force to help pay for college, but if you accept one you're committed to serving at least 4 years even if you don't get a pilot slot. However, if you work hard enough, most routes will work. Military or civilian, college or no college, with hard work it will work.

***** Hey man. Let me tell you this I did my test just recently and I tought to be honest that I was not going to make it because I could not really study for all of it except math. Now to train your English I would highly recommend you to read a english book, doesn't has to be a long one. Next, I would recommend you to read an article on the newspaper and try to summarise it in your own words as if you are telling it towards someone. Secondly for the physics I taught I would not make it because I didn't had the proper schoolbooks. At my school I had to give back my schoolbooks at the end,every year. So I started to look up on the internet and a lot of People recommended each other Schaums Outline Physics Course. I taught I should buy it but I could not find it and it would have taken me to long to get that book overseas. So I gathered all the info I could fine (they give you the subjects that you have to know for the exam) and studied. But I do recommend you to get a proper book, or just hire a reacher for couple of hours to tell you everything about those subjects and provide you with the descent notes. Thirdly, there are some hand and eye coordination excercices. You can't train for that BUT if you play playstation or a computer games it does help you in a way. Because gamers can handle more things by hand and eye coordination then the average person, that's scientificly proven!! The test you will do is that you will have to keep a small dott between two lines while they are moving and making slightly curves. Another test is to keep a blue ball between two lines, you control that with your hands. At the same time you have to keep a red ball between the lines with your feet. These two balls Always keep moving, they don't stop, you just need to hold them as best and as close as you can between those lines. Forthly, there is a general test that tests your knowledge about everything. They ask questions like : What would brake first if you would use a rudder made oout of 1) Wood 2) Metal 3) Plastic 4) Rubber 5) Glass? Obviously the glass would have been broken first because of the less flexibility it has. Another question, how does it come that a hotballoon rises? It"s called convection, convection is that hot air rises and cooler air falls down. A person opens the gass that lets fire come out and heat the giant balloon, because the temperature in the balloon is hotter then the temperature outside the balloon, the balloon adventually rises. These are very basic questions so don't panic. Just do you research and ofcourse learn a bit AND the most important thing, Trust and Believe in yourself! You also get some basic mathematical question like making fast calculation by heart. For example 145X126 or 15487+2546244 I passed for everything more then the average student except for a small subject and that was coordination. To this day I still don't know what I did wrong because they don't show you your faults. It was probably a misscomprehension. The director of the school said that my points were very good so I could begin For me it wasn't the test that was difficult, because I studied and prepared as hard and as good as I can. The banks didn't gave me the money that I needed to start my program and from that day on I am still trying to get the money. They just don't let le lend the money even if I did pass for the exam. Sometimes life is hard but we have to be harder, so don't give up, don't be afraid of the challenges up a head. I hope that I have helped you Th

+Mentour Pilot Hey Mentour Pilot, you're videos are very clear, concise and informative. I really couldn't have thought of all those important things that we have to consider without watching your videos. My dream is to be an airline pilot and I am going to apply to flight school in a year or two hopefully. I also have few questions about the pilot selection tests. 1. What is the difference between psychometric test and aptitude test (I mean are they both the same thing that are used interchangeably)? 2. Are the aptitude tests used in cadet pilot selection in flight schools the same as the ones that are used when applying for a regular job e.g warehouse job, supermarket job., or are the aptitude tests focused on the pilot job? 3. If it's possible, can you please make a video explaining the different types of aptitude tests that are used in cadet selection, e.g spatial awareness, numerical reasoning etc 4. Also, what is a technical reasoning test? Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot !
