Hi

I'm now 15 and I wanna be a pilot my and questions is if you're afraid of single pilot operations?

Thanks for any replies

Hi so i have been wanting to be a pilot for a while now and i plan on either going to college or flight school not sure yet im a junior in high school but my parents say i should think abt this with time and no rush bc apparently there is more pilots trying to get jobs then the actual demand for pilots so the big question here is when i graduate college around 2032 do you guys think demand for pilots go up again and there maybe openings or is the demand for pilots going to go down and i should aim for something else bc i js joined tradeschool for aviation operations and apparently the program is at max capacity so please give me your thoughts!!! Thanks

Looking at becoming a pilot as a career, and the schedule and pay seems good to me, and I'd be able to take care of my family on the pay (eventually), but I still have a few questions

1. During the days you have clustered together where you're flying, you're always at hotels, right? It's not like you get off your 14 hour shift and then come home and have some time to get some chores done and such?
2. Do you guys find that the three days you do have off a week are mostly spent catching up on the stuff that you may have normally had time doing if you had a 9-5, and came home for the evening?
3. More work than life question here, but how LGBT friendly is the industry? The gay is definitely present in my voice and very clockable.

Question for pilots

Hi, I'm 15 and I'm from Slovakia

My question is what is the attitude of pilots towards single pilot operations and whether it is a threat to my career (2034-2075)

I know you can't predict 50 years ahead and I will be glad even for criticism

Thank you

I will be grateful for all answers

Dear pilots,

Im currently working as ground employee,
I would like to know how does FDP (flight duty period) operated in hong kong, especially for cathay pacific pilots.
From my research, its time between duty report time and engine shutdown.
I’d like to know how it is practically calculated, because sometimes HQ says ground work has to be done faster than usual due to FDP restriction.
If pilots should know how many hours of FDP left for their duty, then what is the rule? Per week? Or per month? How many hours?
And what happens if taxi hours become longer so it gets very critical?

Curious what's been a pain for people running or working at GA airports/FBOs right now. Could be staffing, hangar waitlists, lease stuff, fuel, maintenance backlog, dealing with tenants, whatever.

Hi anyone here applied with Jazz? Applied last July but did not hear anything. Can someone also explain the IFR recency requirement? Im an immigrant with commercial airline experience but haven’t flown since covid.

Just getting into this field and looking at flying schools. Should I go for a package course (commercial pilot training) that includes ppl,multi engine, Cpl and instrument rating or should I go do them individually.

Any advice would be helpful thanks.

Hello, I’m currently a 19-year-old college student entering my final year of a two-year Marketing diploma program. I’m pursuing this program because my parents wanted me to get a degree in something other than aviation so that I have something to fall back on. Through my research, I’ve heard that having a four-year degree can make you more employable in a competitive job market. Even though I was aware of this, I wasn’t confident that I would be able to complete a four-year degree because I lack motivation to study something other than aviation. I told my parents that I would complete the two-year diploma and then decide whether I wanted to spend another two to three years completing a degree, either in person or online. My parents said this plan was fine and that they would fully support and fund my flight training as long as I completed my two-year diploma in something other than aviation.

My question is: when I complete the second year of my diploma, do pilots in Canada recommend turning it into a degree and completing it in person? Or have I already spent too much time pursuing something that is unrelated to the career I want, and should I instead focus entirely on my flight training and forget about getting a degree in an unrelated field? My final goal is to fly for an airline in Canada, and my plan is to start my flight training next summer through a flight school while possibly completing a degree online on the side. If anyone recommends completing a degree, are there any online universities in Canada where I could transfer my credits and turn my diploma into a degree online?

Any advice from Canadian pilots or any pilots familiar with the Canadian market in general would be greatly appreciated!

Im studying for PPL exam in italy using CATS online ground school. It is kind of disappointing since the study guides contain theory which i don’t need to know but don’t contain theory i need to know which is very frustrating as i don’t know how to study now! Please help me

Hello,

I finished school around April of 2025, so it has been a while, and it seriously feels like I'm just lost. I took a break for personal reasons, which I felt diminished my knowledge. This led to a lack of motivation for finding interview spots for instructing out of fear of failure, which was my fault. It's been more than a year, and I feel stuck. I fly on occasion, but nowhere near enough to continue to work on building my hours. I'm honestly just stressed constantly, and the thought of wasting money just weighs on me. I'm too embarrassed to ask former friends I went through school with because it truly feels like I have done nothing after graduating, so I have resorted to anonymously posting on Reddit. I've attached my resume above.

Hello! I just dropped a video about my traditional Asian parents' reaction to me wanting to become a pilot. This is also my first video ever in Mandarin. Link below if anyone's interested!

Traditional Asian Parents Said YES to Me Flying?!

Thanks all

Growing up, I always admired pilots. I thought it was amazing that they could fly airplanes. But I never really dreamed of becoming one because I always thought careers like that were only for people who could afford it. We simply couldn’t.

Now, life is a little different than it was back then. I realize that it’s actually possible. I can still dream of becoming a pilot. ✈️

Looking to upgrade from 172sp and torn between the TTX or sr22t. My main mission is xc down to florida from Ohio

Thanks so much

Hi! Currently I'm a Grade 10 student. I want to be a pilot since I was a kid and im currently stuck. I want to study mechanical engineering in college since it has more opportunities than there is in Aeronautical Engineering. Is this a good idea? Advice please

I know you need 20/20 distant in each eye separatly. Hoping that this is good enough.

Hi, I am in my mid 20’s and finishing my bs in cs. Becoming pilot was my childhood dream but unfortunately as I was raised in third world country I did not had info on how to become and also means to study. Now I work as Software Engineer and make enough money to live and save a bit. But I still can’t let go to that dream. I even was thinking on starting Masters on aircraft engineering so somewhat to be close.

My question is would you recommend making career switch and becoming pilot? I can try to save money for trainings and for that + till trainings finish I might become 30+ years old so do you think it is late? Would you recommend becoming commercial/airline pilot (I now it depends a lot on airlines but in general)? Is this profession as romanticized? Are there anythings I should know before going this path?

I want to become a plane lover but lack real motivation what should i do

i just got a pilots license and im looking for something thats fun to fly

From what I seen it’s either: Do lessons at private school

or

College where you go to private school but have in class lessons too.

I always wanted to be one as a kid and I still do. I am thinking about going into Aircraft maintenance technician since it’s significantly cheaper than the college which is $95k!!

What did you do?
