How can I become an Airline Pilot?
I am 15 years old, and have been flying a Piper Archer for just over a year now and love it! I have done 40hrs and the 'Human limitations and Pilot Performance' exam and achieved 100%. I will be 16 in October and so I will be able to do my solos, and the following year I can apply for a PPL licence.
I am also part of the ATC (Air Training Corps) which I also enjoy.
There's just one problem. I don't know whether I want to try getting into the RAF or if I want to be an Airline Pilot? At the moment I am thinking more about being a commercial pilot after an hour flight in a 737 simulator, but how do I get there?
I have tried finding the answers to my questions on various websites but there are multiple answers! How do sponsorships work? Do you need a degree? Is it cheeper in America? What else do you need other than a CPL? Do I need an IR? Where's the best place to go? Which A levels should I take? Who should I contact?
