Cargo pilot?
My question is: Can a newly fresh from flight school student with around 200 hours get a job in a cargo airline/company? I want to know about Cargo since commercial airlines are flooded with wanna be's, why don't people consider cargo?
I don't know much about airlines but say I go to Emirates and say I want to be a Cargo pilot and I have low hours as I have just got out of flight school. is the selection process like the 'normal way'? or is Cargo totally different? would I need more hours to be a cargo pilot? I also believe the pay is lower and stuff, am I correct?
But the main thing is, say I can't find a job as a commercial pilot, can I go to cargo? instead of being jobless at home waiting for a call?
And airlines like Emirates, Etihad, Qatar airways have cargo sections? special planes for it? I don't think I've seen 'cargo pilot application' on any of these websites so idk I'm just curious about this, I don't know how to explain it haha .. but hopefully you get the point.. somehow...
Oh and the License is the same right? ''fATPL'' /JAA?
