RE: Starting

I also wish to become an airline pilot, whether or not I make it thats a different story, But i’ll sure try my best.

The best thing to do is write to all the airlines, and ask then some questions about if they off sponsorship and stuff.

Hey Dutchy,

EPST is the European Pilot Selection & Training course.
A lot of Dutch guys I know did their training there.
The selection is pretty hard,but if you get through, you`ll be guided closely throughout your courses.
Check out www.epst.com for more information about it.

If you want o check out more private) flight training programmes, you have to check:
www.AVASP.com
If you fill in your data,a lot and I mean A LOT) of flight schools (like Comair and flight safy tc)
will send you their info.

Please, get a lot of information about the training-costs,and how you are going to pay for it,
Flight training is very expensive, and you take a pretty big financial risk if you`ll start.
And when you start training, get yourself a “loss of licence” insurance.

See ya,

Hey are you from Holland Dutchy????
Yep Lufthansa is all in German (sorry)
But why don`t you try the EPST program?
It`s in Holland and they train you from nothing to an 737 FO!!!!
Easy jet gets pilots from there!!!!
At least you HAVE to be under 27 years old!!!!!!
And you HAVE to study very very hard, but it`s worth it at the end! (believe me!)

Nederlander?
Frst thing you have to do is get your medical checks!
And then you know if you can do the JAR/FCL courses.
If you faiil your medicals,you have no chance.
In holland 95% of all medical tests go allright.
The lufthansa flight school has a special ab-initio course, which is relatively cheap.
After finishing this course, you have a big chance to start flying for Lufthansa city-line,
the chance of flying for Lufthansa classic is a lot smaller.
But……..the way I see it, flying small is better than not flying at all!!!!

Hope you know a little bit more?
If you have more questions …..just ask okay?

see ya!

Hi there,
I want to join BA, I am only 13, so I have a long way to go. My route is to join the RAF, then go to BA(Saves a lot of money), I think they call it the direct Entry scheme.
Anyone know how much an average Co-pilot gets?
With Regards
Matthew

RE: Starting

There is no EASY way of becoming a pilot, becoming a pilot takes alot of determination and hard work. Especially with Lufthansa and BA, they are hard people in choosin pilots. As they are strict in safety.
