And how much a year do you get with 30$ ? What Airline are you working for?
What about all those things i have read on the internet, that a pilot on start gets around 50,000 a year, and afterten years as a senior captain he gets up to 200,000 us dollars. Is that a lie? please tell me its not a lie. :( :x :?:

http://www.airlinepilotcentral.com usually has the correct pay rates.
Don't blame the messenger. pilot salaries, especially in the first years of your career, are very low in the US.

OK. now this is serious.
Which way do you think would be better:
1. Go to Delta connection academy ( 2 years ). Then when i finish it, find a job on some regional airline in florida or arizona.
and then go to embry riddle ( 3 years ) while i work. And then when i finish ERAU, i shall have 3 years of experience as a commercial pilot, pilot certificates, and a 4 year college degree. and then go try for some major company.

OR

2. Go to ERAU (4 year). When i finish it. i shall have pilot certificates, and 4 year college degree. ( no experience ). and then work for some regional airline for 3 years. And then when i get 3 years of experience. try out for some major company.


So, first way is going to take me 5 years, and second way is going to take me 7 years. but i still dont know how much are they going to cost me. ( 1 way and 2 way). Maybe you guys know?

So anyway, ( COMMUNITY OPINION ) Which way would you guys choose? 1 or 2? if you have any other suggestions, please say it. :fly: :D

Why do you think these are your only options?
There are so many flight schools out there.
