Training to become a commercial Pilot. (Advice Wanted)
I am at the stage in life when its coming to making big decisions about carers and jobs. For a little while now i have been interested in becoming a commercial pilot/ or possible a cargo pilot. I have spoken to Ex pilots who have recommended this site to gain knowledge and information which can help me further make a decisions and to learn more about what i might be getting my self into.
So first of all Some simple questions:
I have heard of 3 ways to train and to get licenses these are through university, the military or funding it yourself. Has any one had experience of these and if so what was your overall experience like. Also what other routes can i take?
Another questions what licenses would i have to acquire to fly cargo or commercial planes and are the licenses different to fly private jets?
Thanks for your time i have a lot of admiration for all you pilots out there.
