You can always get what you want – the only variable is the time it takes. Yes, I don’t mind living in Asia for five years if it means I can be an Airline Pilot earlier. Yes, I can achieve my dreams if I just keep persisting. Yes, I can become an Airline pilot if I work hard enough. I want you to get into the habit of changing ‘Yes but’ to… ‘Yes, I can!’ This is where the negative thinking can become so powerful. Wow! Unless you have just received an inheritance, or your parents are rich, this is where your research into becoming an Airline Pilot probably ends. So you have always dreamt of becoming an Airline Pilot and you have probably done a bit of internet searching and soon realised that the cost of training could be anywhere from $55,000 to $120,000. Basically they are saying ‘Yes, I agree with you… but I have come up with a reason not to agree with you’. So will there be jobs, but you may have to travel to find that first airline job. All the airline pilots I know who secured a job shortly after their flight training, went overseas for work. If you want to stay on the East Coast of Australia and don’t want to move to find work then you may find it harder to gain employment. ![]() The same rapid change is happening right now in Asia, however the population is about ten times that which the USA had in the fifties (that is right: ten times!!). In fact, one could compare the Asia Pacific region to America post-World War II, when the Airline industry grew like crazy after the disposable income of the middle classes increased and the costs of airline travel decreased. I believe the Asia Pacific forecast is spot on. I am a business owner and Entrepreneur and spend a considerable amount of time researching future growth markets. The Asia Pacific region will need around 250,000 new pilots in this time period. The news about the future pilot shortage is correctīoeing and Airbus updated their forecast this year to conclude that around 600,000 new pilots will be required to be trained over the next 20 years to replace retiring airline staff and growing airline fleets. I believe that the future is very exciting if your goal is to become an airline pilot. If your reason ‘why’ is a good reason and you are passionate about flying and becoming a pilot, then I can honestly say the road to becoming an Airline Pilot will not be that hard. A not so good reason for wanting to become a pilot might be because the pay is good and it will be cool.Ī better reason might be because you have always been obsessed with aircraft, you just love flying and you can’t imagine doing anything else other than sitting in a high tech plane and being responsible for the lives of many individuals, helping them reach their loved ones safely. This is the first question you need to ask yourself before you begin your journey. Yes, life can be hard, but what’s the alternative? If you believe everything is hard then you are more likely to give up before you begin. ![]() I’m amazed that these individuals are able to actually get out of bed in the morning. I hear a lot of individuals telling me that becoming an employed Airline Pilot is hard and that training is hard and getting a job is hard. ![]()
