Yesterday, I spotted this rare bird named ATR-72 flying by my terrace. I rushed to my terrace as soon as I heard the roaring sound of that bird. It was so fascinating for me since my dream is to be a commercial pilot someday.
How I decided to become a Commercial Airline pilot?
When I was a kid I used to like trains, yeah I never thought of becoming a pilot when I was a kid. One day, I went to the airport with my father for the very first time and saw those giant birds landing and taking off from the runway. Seeing those airplanes so closely made me fell in love with them😍. Well, I saw them before too but seeing them so closely was something different. From that day I made my mind that I'll choose my career as a commercial pilot and promised my father that I'll fund my training cost on my own. From that day I started saving money in my piggy bank for the training without actually knowing how much it actually costs.😋
How much money do you need to become a commercial pilot?
As of 2021, you need around $50,000 to $60,000 to complete your CPL training and some extra money for your type rating (separate training on a particular model of aircraft that you want to fly, for example, A320, A380, Boeing 747, etc.)
Why do I want to be a commercial airline pilot?
From the very beginning, I was always obsessed with traveling and that made me decide to opt for a well paying career that involves traveling too. Being a pilot is one of the best thing that I can do to my life. And as mentioned earlier in my introduction, pilot job offers an office amidst sky, what else do you need?😋
