[QUOTE="BMWSauber1991, post: 1179049, member: 47373"] So in my area we have three airports in the metro area, KPDX, KTTD and KHIO. KPDX is the main civilian/military airport that people fly in and out of to other cities. KHIO and KTTD on the other hand are small mostly civilian aviation airports that have teamed up with one of the local community colleges in the area to offer a two year aviation science degree (Not to be confused with aeronautical engineering). About $65,000 for the all the licensing up to commercial pilots license and flight instructor (This doesn't include tuition or books from the school). KHIO offers their own program in which you end up with the same licensing at around $65,000 but with out the cost of tuition. I would probably go with just the program offered at KHIO and not with the community college since I am already getting my four year degree in finance. $65,000 is a lot of money, I know this. In fact, $20 dollars is a lot of money to me. I don't know if I am sane or insane but I think $65,000 dollars is pocket change to make a dream of mine a reality. Honestly, I can only see the field of aviation grow. Baby boomers retire, more pilot positions open. When the economies of developing countries grow more aviation positions will be offered (Look at China and Middle East). When the United States government cuts spending to the Air Force less pilots are trained, and more planes are grounded. America is too large to build high speed magnetic trains, so people will always turn to flying. Same goes for China, Russia, Brazil, Australia. As America transforms from a manufacturing economy to a service economy, package delivery will only grow more, when people want services they usually want them fast, and when countries grow to global powers they want there products fast which need to be flown overseas. All the major airliners offer pilot internships (Type Airline Internship on Google you will get the results), and most use a single website for there pilot applications (The site is called [url=http://www.Airlineapps.com]Airline Applications[/url]) I have not found out how to apply at UPS, Fed-Ex, or DHL but I think I have a good TINY start on this overall process. I am not doubting that the airline industry is a volatile career choice, I am not doubting that it will cost me an arm, leg, and maybe an eye to get the proper licensing, and I am not doubting that I may not even get the position I eventually want. BUT, I am saying that with all these obstacles I will only become a better pilot, I will only get a better chance at my dream career, and maybe one day it will pay off. I will be in it for the long haul, I know. On a side note, I thought this video was hilarious! haha "[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jtf4Zma8kMU]The best pilot speech - YouTube[/url]" [/QUOTE]
