All Answers: Answer #1The cost to obtain a private pilot license could run you over $10,000. To fly for British Airways,you would also have to obtain a commercial licenseas well as additional specialized ratings andother required certifications. That could run upyour costs to $30,000 or more.I would highlyrecommend that you join the Canada's Air Force andvolunteer for pilot training. Not only would younot be charged anything to attend military flighttraining, but you would be paid a militaryofficer's salary during your training aswell.Commercial airlines love to hire formermilitary pilots because of their flight trainingand experience. So it would be less expensive forthe airlines to give you the additional trainingto convert you from military aircraft tocommercial aircraft.Click on the source links Iposted below for more information.

Answer #2
Good for you in wanting to become a pilot. Youwill one day say, "I get paid for this?"Dependingon how old you are, talk to someone at a localairport and see if there is a CFI (CertifiedFlight Instructor) there and how much it wouldcost for a flying lesson. There are even somecoupons in aviation magazines to give you a bigdiscount. Then see if they have a ground school. ACFI could teach you that as well, but it wouldhelp to have a classroom environment. You can takelessons at any age and solo (fly by yourself) at16.If you are older, think about joining themilitary. Go to college and become a pilot. It isthe military pilots with all the air hours who getmost of the experience and airline jobs. If themilitary is not for you, then start small. Get acommercial rating along with instrument andinstructor. Fly for small delivery companies orwhoever will take you. The apply to your heartscontent. Good luck!
