How Much Does It Cost to be an Airline Pilot


The cost varies a lot but I would figure right at 80k for your degree and all of your flight training. I have personally been to many flight schools both touring them as well as training at many of them. They are not all created equal and by far the better choice is ATP (Airline Transport Professionals). If you are serious about flying for a living then go to ATP. Borrow the money needed and fly your butt off for 5 months. If you don't have a degree yet don't worry about it. ATP will charge you around 46-50k for training and will get you right seat in a jet quick!! The training is tough and full immersion is necessary but you will make it in record time. This is coming from a guy that has been in the industry for 18 yrs now. Believe me I have been suckered by a few but when I discovered ATP that was it!! Good luck to you and let us know how your training is going or any questions you may have.
