How did you finance your pilot training?

[@roninadventures6164]

So everyone asked their parents.... .........yeah I don’t have that option

[@cherry-kr9tj]

Same

[@duckytheboy2226]

Imma work for 3 years then get loan

[@fantastico407]

Me too

[@liamandrews2738]

I had that option because I lived in a multi million pound mansion with my parents

[@Anonymous-qi1vl]

Loan it and pay it back later

[@hazzah5572]

The biggest financial hurdle for me was... getting the money 😂

[@restlessbeing1398]

[@tomthomassony8607]

And some people make £$millions giving this type of advice. So many gullible people out there, look at multi-level-marketing or pyramid schemes.

[@tormentedterror]

Actually very thought of statement , financial hurdles could be of many types, excluding the money .

[@adipuppi]

worked as a flight attendant for ten years. saved up and got my private license at 25yo and commercial license at 30yo. no excuses guys!

[@fader1912]

Dale story is like the only one that is relatable to like 90% of the people in the comments including me.

[@SirSnipington]

How did dale make it? The video never really explained. Did he just pay for modular courses or what? Because modular courses still end up costing the same amount as integrated

[@SquawkHub]

@@SirSnipington Modular courses are much more cheaper than integrated.

[@abbieamavi]

*Dale's story was really interesting! even with only half the amount, and the learning style he wasn't a fan of, he made it. Cool* :)

[@brianbates7866]

Not to sound like a pessimist but huge chunk (not all) of youtuber pilots seem to have come from wealthy back rounds or already have existing family in the industry to help them out and it really comes off as fake and pretentious when they say "follow yoyr dreams and dont worry about the money" when they themselves never had to worry about it themselves.

[@Megalodon64]

I am going through the struggles of having a teaching job just to be able to pay for pilot training. Yeah the things I do to achieve my dream.

[@lopelogylapa8406]

Guys Pray for me. I'm working two full time jobs in belgium just to save that amount of money

[@maal5643]

My dream always was and is still being a pilot but i won’t avoid it. I will try and work hard but deep down i know my dream of becoming pilot is done.

[@Mar-qm5hf]

Perhaps take a loan?

[@smzz9356]

So basically all they said is that it's extremely expensive and almost impossible to become a pilot, unless you're ready to sell your soul to a bank. Sounds awesome, I'm in. 👌🏻

[@adammorgan3983]

Finally I found that's I'm not alone / i found a very simple solution to you all, start by a job that will guarantee money that you need to become a pilot and let you be more engage and commit to your childhood dream Like air traffic controler, not only you will support your self but you will make pilots friends also, so you in cockpit soon

[@tn6394]

So essentially, children born from privilege can only afford to follow their dreams in aviation? What a pointless video

[@cherry-kr9tj]

I know right, I really want to be a pilot, but I dont have that privillege

@@cherry-kr9tj you can loan it and pay it back later when u became a pilot

[@harrymaguire371]

​@@ryou6453 In their fleet they have C-130s and A400Ms and A330 MRTTs which are all classed as multi-engine aircraft, so surely you would need some type of license to fly such aircraft (i.e. ATPL or EASA). But I don't know with certainty, maybe their website has the answers.

[@user-jt5cv5hg3n]

[@SirSnipington]

Video never said how dale managed to overcome the financial hurdle. It just hinted that he used modular instead of integrated but even that still costs the same amount??

[@MakeupDeen]

So sad that you have to pay so much money and there is no job guarantee. The biggest problem is that if you get your flight education from other countries you can’t work in other countries. That means if you will get your licenses in US you will be able to work only in US or if you get your from licenses Poland you will not be able to work in the UK.

[@harrytibbs6313]

If you get your license in Europe, you will obtain an easa atpl. You can convert this from an easa to caa atpl or work for a European airline with a UK base. So basically it’s a lot cheaper to get a license in Europe and convert it or just work in Europe (higher paying pilot jobs in Eu countries).

[@sunbulah9779]

What a wicked field !!!

[@clarencegreen3071]

Another uncertainty is that you have no guarantee that you won't get half way through the program and lose your medical certificate. Stuff happens over which you have no control. I became myopic at age 17 . . . instant career change. Turned out OK, however.

[@stephencurry3124]

U can fly with bad eyesight mate

[@clarencegreen3071]

@@stephencurry3124 Yes you can, and I flew as a private pilot for about 35 years, but I could not get a 2nd class medical which was required to be a commercial pilot. I studied physics and became a teacher in a small college. Looking back, I was intended to be a teacher, and I had the pleasure of working with a lot of very talented people. Like I said earlier, it turned out OK. I would do it all again!

[@bennithomas8414]

I am trying to find out a job in Europe where I can work and learn flying part time

[@somepolishguy8228]

I'll never be able to fund my training since i am not employed, because i cant be when doing my pilot training and being a pilot is what i want to be my job. My parents are relatively stable but they have barely any money left after paying all taxes and for food. There is absolutely no way anybody in my family will finance 80,000 to 120,000 pounds .__.

How much did it cost in total???

[@viper2311]

It varies depending on country and flight school, my nearest flight school has a programme I hope to get into which might get me a job with ryanair at the end which costs around €86,000. It's really not cheap but flight training to go commercial (airline pilot ect) could go anywhere from 75k to 100k

If you are looking to do it in the uk, don’t expect to pay less than £75k total. Do it in Europe in places like Spain, Czech, Greece, etc - you can expect to pay about 30k-40k total. Only downside you’ll get an easa atpl (can’t work in some places in UK unless you get a easa to CAA conversion).
