From Flight School to Pilot

Some flight schools offer Accelerated Flight Training, designed to boost your flight time hours while you attend class. You can also receive college credit for attending and may be eligible for financial aid or scholarships. In as little as 6 months, you can become a private pilot, in 2 more months you can be hired as a flight instructor and in another year, you can be working as a regional airline pilot. A few flight schools will even assist you in getting interviews with those regional airlines.

There are several types of pilot jobs available, each with it's own challenges and rewards. For many professional pilots, the ultimate job is to be an airline captain. The pay can be very good; top salary at some of the higher paying major airlines is around $160,000 a year, for about 80 to 85 hours of flying per month. And benefits for pilots, as well as many other airline employees, include travel passes. Top salary levels are reached only after many years of service and only at a few of the major airlines. Most airline pilots start out as first officer (co-pilot) with regional carriers. In addition to airline pilot, pilot jobs include flight instructor, corporate pilot, charter pilot, test pilot, and agricultural pilot.
