No need to get upset Stuart! That's the place you need to go to if you want that kind of information. Plenty of airline pilots post in wannabes!

Stuart hello,

First of all start looking into flight schools. Then start educating yourself on the daily life of a pilot. Look at all the good and bad.

You will have bad sceds for many years until you build senority and so on. You will be gone from home quite a bit also.

There are many books out there. Like so you want to be an airline pilot. Just educate yourself and then go for it. I think it is a goo time for you to get into this field because it will take you approx 5-7 years worth of good exp before you can go to work for a major airline. So you will be in good shape by mid twenties. Also first go to colloge and get your 4 year degree which is almost mandatory anymore.

Well thats a start to your question my friend.

I am currently on the A320 but also flew the 747 for 12 years and DC-9 and 727.

If there is anything specific you need answered please email me.

Take Care,
Brian

I think you'll find that advice quite useful.
