No. It's just something I've always wanted to do and add to my jacket.
You just need 30 hours to become a pilot of a commercial airliner?

I'd keep going. At least get the hours to go commercial. You might want a career change in your later years
yea air force cutoff is like 31 i think. you basically have to be groomed to be a fighter pilot.Yea the hours are based on the pilot and his/her skill level.
Ngl, i was likethe first time i went up in a 172 with my instructor.
When you get in the groove of things and begin to do airwork...the spin recovery and the G forces that hit you
Your first solo is also most likely going to be 1 circuit. T/O, upwind, downwind, base and then final.
Provided that you’re able to obtain a medical, no.
You can start learning how to fly at 18 or 45. However, bein eligible for the airforce or commercial airlines may be a different story.
One of my partnas a pilot. He was telling me one day how that shyt damn near impossible to get the hours to fly for Delta I think cause you need so many hours. But said you can fly for other airlines with like half. But he was saying how expensive it is to get your hours and basically you need your own damn plane to be able to afford all them hours.
So obviously my next question was, so you can’t finesse hours? He was like hell naw, maybe an hour or two here and there but all it take is an audit, so unless you got people with planes in on it, you can’t even finesse the hours. I was like fukk that shyt, I need to cheat

Naw, I’m good on a career change I’m doing well where I am. I just like to learn skills and add to myself as much as possible. After planes it’ll be boats. At that point I’ll know how to operate everything but a tank. And I saw a place to learn how to drive them in Castic California so you never know.

You need 1500. Instructors charge something like $150/hr. From what I understand you looking at $100k to get to 1500 hours. But I could be wrong, I'm reading reddit now to see the best cost scenario.

You're suppose to get your commercial and instructors license and have someone else pay you attain those hours, especially twin engine hours. Then you move on to a regional airline, and then a major.

I thought it was 1500 to go major.
I want to do this, but my Associate degree is holding me back. That's 2 years of BS I don't feel like going through.
