This Is How I Became An Emirates Airline Pilot

Hello Friends,
Everyone has a story on how they became a pilot or how they achieved their dream. This is my story of how I became an Airline Pilot.
I wish everyone a successful future and a clear path to achieving their dream.
Until the next one stay safe,
Your Pilot Yassine

[@hajarchakir1187]

can you explain how much did it cost u to become a pilot? how to choose the best flying school? why belgium and not morocco? do I stand a chance even if I can't afford $10K+ for the training?

[@yassinethepilot]

The cost was around 70,000 Euros. Living in Belgium at the time, it was the only place I could secure a study loan from. That's the primary reason I chose a Flight School in Belgium. You can become a pilot without any capital, either through a loan like I did or through a Cadet Program. You can check out @poortopilot channel; he made a video about the Cadet programs.

@@yassinethepilot did you have to change your licenses to FAA type since you had your flight school in europe

[@yassinethepilot]

No I didn’t need to convert to FAA. FAA is for the United States

@yassinethepilot bro I am a Materials engineer from Pakistan, aged 28. I just wanted to ask if it was too late to start with my dream of being a Pilot since childhood. I wanted to ask if I could get a commercial pilot lisence from Ireland as a pakistani national or the one in Brussels like yours. I have done a bit of research and found flyby aviation in Spain too, can you please review that too, and let me know if it isn't late. Would love to be an Emirates pilot someday

[@Maze3008]

Hi Yassine, Amazing journey and it sounds very inspiring. I am an aviation enthusiast and I am considering becoming a future pilot, however I have some drawbacks and questions regarding teh journey: 1. I have eye-sight I have -2.25 eye sight and no flight school makes it clear if it is possible to become a commercial pilot with this eye condition. 2. I am considering to do an aerospace engineering degree in Germany prior to becoming a licensed pilot Do you think that eats up too many years or is it worth it to do a bachelors before becoming a pilot?

[@yassinethepilot]

Hi 👋 Thank you 😊 To answer your questions : 1. I don’t think that should be a Problem at all. But, the best way to know for sure is to schedule a Class 1 medical with an aeromedical examiner near to you. 2. It is always good to have extra degrees, it can’t hurt, it can only be useful. However, if you are planning a Pilot Career, I don’t see where you can use it. Unless you plan to change careers down the line, and something to consider then is, no experience in the field and old degree, can you easily get hired ? While fresh graduates have the same qualification ? I hope this helps

[@aungkaungkhant5099]

Heyy..Watching from Myanmar. I'd like to ask a question. I've heard that pilot are allowed to wear glasses. To how much extend is allowed? I mean the degree of the eyesight.

[@yassinethepilot]

Hi, you heard right. Get in contact with an aero medical examiner or check on the civil aviation authority website to get the right answer :)

Im a 23 year old cabin crew in emirates wondering to start my pilot license. Would you recommend me finish first contract and go full to study or work and study on days off/annual leave? Thanks

[@yassinethepilot]

Hi 👋, it depends where you want to study. If it is in the UAE maybe you can find a school that will offer you a program that will match your schedule, otherwise it is going to take you some time if you do it abroad and I think, it will be difficult to travel on days off to get those flying hours, if you are working at the same time…

[@jbeverything4159]

how many hours did you have when you started on the Airbus 320. I know in the US for me, once I'm finished with training I have another 1,250 hours to go to Reach ATP minimums

I have a question. I'm so passionate about aviation but I have bad sight, is it possible to become a pilot and get a certification if I do lazik surgery? would that allow me to become in the futur a pilot for emirates?

[@yassinethepilot]

It depends on what is the issue, sometimes we think that the issue is worst than what it is. You can fly while wearing glasses. Please check with an Aeromedical examiner and they will tell you what you need to do in order to get your medical licence. Let me know if you have more questions 🙃

[@iliasmokaddem7449]

Hello Yassin The problem with work is that sometimes you graduate with 200 hours, but you do not find work in one of the companies, even the company in your country, and you refuse. So what is the solution?

Hi, that can happen if you only aim for specific airlines, but, if you broaden your perspectives and explore all the options, you can find a job somewhere and build your experience to then move on to the country of your choice. I have a video on my channel explaining that, check it out

@@yassinethepilot quite a nice breakthrough to go straight to the A320 as the first aircraft. What would you suggest when it comes to getting the rating if not being sponsored by the company?

[@yassinethepilot]

It depends on the situation, in my case the type rating was done within the airline so it was more expensive than doing it on your own. So it is a case by case scenario. For example, if company X is hiring pilots with low experience and a type rating is required, this can be done at an ATO of your choice.
