How do you become a cargo pilot/ airliner pilot?

what does it take to be one?????How do you become a cargo pilot/ airliner pilot?
It depends on where in the world you live. In the U.S. the requirements change depending on the need. For example, when I first started flying, all of the major carriers DEMANDED a minimum of 2,000 TT with 500 Instrument hours. Since then, the requirements have gone from 2,000 to 1,000 and everywhere in between. The common requirement for all major carriers I have worked with is that a college degree or equivalent is required.





In Japan, you need not have ANY time at all, but a desire to fly and make it a long-term career. The carriers (JAL and ANA) give their pilots who do not have flight experience complete training, starting by teaching from the manuals to getting 1.5 to 2 years flight training in Australia or the U.S. Then, the training continues in the flight simulators and many more hours of ';ground school'; for the specific aircraft.





My suggestion is to check with the air carriers you would wish to work with - find out their requirements - and go from there.How do you become a cargo pilot/ airliner pilot?
Contrary to what Emily E said, a degree in aviation is not actually needed to become a commercial pilot. You need the required ratings and a minimum amount of flight time. You'll need to get your private pilot's license first, from there you get your dual engine rating and your instrument rating.





The degree might help at some companies, but I know for certain many would rather see a degree in something other than aviation.
ask a terrorist
go to school
There are 2 routes to becoming on:





You have to either go into the military (cheap way) to earn your wings and build up your flying hours





or





You can do it the civilian way (very expensive) and find a airport that will give you all the ratings you need. But then once you have gotten all of your ratings you have to build up your flying hours so most people become flight instructions, whom get payed very little.
it takes school Contact Spartan College in Tulsa Oklahoma they have an 90% job placement for graduates. Those guys will know how to get you on the right path.
First you need to find an airport with a flight school. There are many steps you need to go through before you can fly the big planes, and many hours to build.





Also, you need to get an aviation degree. My husband has been able to get his all online through Utah State College, which just became Utah State University.
Simply enter a Flying Academy first..Then,you'll get it by yourself..
