Hello,
I wanted to ask what the prospects are for getting a job as a pilot? Is it difficult to become a pilot, or do you have to get lucky? I really want to become a pilot when I finish high school (I'm currently only in 9th grade). My GPA is between 1.5 and 1.7…is that important as a pilot? And is the aptitude test very difficult?
Thanks, regards Robin

Loading...Dear Gutefrage team, Tomorrow I want to take a bus from Malaga Airport to Nerja. When I enter these two locations into the Omio search engine, the departure station is listed as "Puerto Malaga." That actually means "port," doesn't it? I'm a bit confused and would appreciate it if someone could help. Best regards
With so many flights, I ask myself why so many people fly this one flight on this exact date and to this exact location. The same applies to other flights.
So, if the aircraft's tires don't extend or jam during loading, what can the pilot do in such a case to ensure a relatively safe loading? Please don't speculate. Only if you know for sure! Thanks.
Hello, I want to fly to Mallorca soon and don't know if I'll be able to get through customs. Please only help if you're absolutely sure. thanks in advance
The market is currently bad and sown with applicants so that the airlines can pick up the raisins from the applicants. They do.
Of course, you can also take a lot of money into your hands and finance your training yourself. It’s not meaningful. The relevant newspapers are oversaw with billholders who come fresh from the school bank, just 300 hours in the flight book and desperately seek a job.
The couple who find work then are happy to be able to fly even if they cannot live of it. Thus, they often work by the way to earn their living and to pay back the monthly rates for the repayment of their borrowed loan.
Unfortunately, there are now enough pilots with a few thousand flight hours and jet experience on the market, some of them moving abroad to stand in wages and bread.
This is bitter reality.
Just search here in the forum. A lot has been written on the subject.
Hello,
You have to be lucky too, because luck is with the addicts! Otherwise, it will be difficult, because you must be what you used to call a “education citizen” – sometimes a little off.
Interested, very good average in many areas, not only in the elaborate knowledge of facts; finally representative You’ll have to take care of the company later. The companies don’t need steam plumbers.
And whether a suitability test is difficult (not difficult, these are weights, but no tasks!) is subjective. The losers say, of course, that he was very difficult, the company had prejudices, the psychologist a bad day, etc. This is human, but not objective. Those who made him say, of course, was difficult, but feasible. They thus increase themselves a little; even this is human, although the tests are as objective as possible and built according to the latest scientific findings (computers have no prejudice!).
You just have to be good at the test time. Facts beyond knowing what is going on in the world, how the company operates on the market, good knowledge of English and geography, team-ready, decision-making, solution-oriented, targeted.
You’ll keep coming. And, of course, you need to meet the medical requirements.
So besides a good Abitur you still have to be able to see perfect, pass fitness and reaction tests and other things. As far as I know, the recording process has 4 parts and only the least come through. So yes, it’s hard to become a pilot, but anyone always managed to
Thank you for your answer 🙂 I hope I can do this…
The training is not difficult. Every university degree is more demanding and lasts longer. It is also not difficult to determine the suitability required by the airlines. It is only necessary to fit into the scheme that the airline expects from its future aircraft leaders.
No-it’s not hard! At least not for those who are suitable for the job.
All others should rethink their career choice in their own interest.
Pilot can be easy by completing a flight school. The training for professional or traffic pilots is not particularly difficult and does not require special schooling, as is repeatedly falsely claimed in GF or in regular tables. The aptitude determination of the airlines is problematic. They want to select from the large number of candidates those who are most suitable for the activity as a road pilot and who fit into their business. This aptitude assessment is not difficult, but on average 95% of applicants are not considered suitable for this profession. The chance that you complete all the tests so that you think you are a suitable candidate is therefore quite low, although these tests are not difficult. By the way, no special schooling is required for obtaining a professional or traffic pilot licence, but the airlines are making their own requirements and in some cases require schooling or, at least, the professional qualification.
