You must be rich to become a pilot?
Hi all, this is my first post, and i hope Iam posting it in the suitable part of the forum.
Iam currently 20 years old and live in Scandinavia, i have always wanted to become an airline pilot just as so many like me. There are no public aviation Schools in my country, and beacuse of this i must pay my education by my own. I come from a family which best can be describes as lower class family, therefore i dont have any money (or familymember with a property as a sucurity) to be able to attend a first officer program at the most famous schools like FTE, Pilot training center etc.
The prices you have to pay for an first officer titel are ridicilous, it would take me at least 5 years to be able to save that much money, but then i will be 25 years old, is that to old to start an first officer program?
Are all airline pilots either former military pilots or children of rich people?
I hope I didnot insult anyone, that was not my purpose with this post.
