Rejoinder.
If you're rich enough, I'll advice you go for helicopters. They pay more and more job security than airplane.
The jobs are more than aeroplanes in Nigeria.
Though I must say, helicopter training is 3x aeroplane training and a bit harder, but more fun.

Also I've always wanted to give out my books, headset and equipment free of charge to anyone who really wants to fly. At least save you the cost of repeating exams.

The best school so far is CAE but very expensive. I recommend you go for PEA. my main reason is that; the employ their student pilots immediately after training as flight instructors. this is crucial as it will help u to build the necessary flying hours to land a flying job as a pilot. NB: while building additional hours as an instructor u also get paid at the same time. 99% of flying school pass out students after obtaining 250 hours meanwhile u need up to 500 hours to land a flying job and 1500 hours for major airlines. how then can u get the additional hours to enable you apply for jobs as a pilot? PEA answers this questions.

to answer other of ur questions u need to send me your email so I can send you a complete guide to becoming a commercial pilot. its eBook and completely free of charge.

To everyone and anyone who wants to be a pilot, take this advice.
I'm a pilot, student pilot I would say. Flying is addictive. Flying is cool.

But it can't pay the bills.
Flight school is damn expensive. If you got nothing less than N20million (dollar is now N300+) forget about it for your own good. Flying on empty pockets will frustrate your life. I've been there and I've seen peeps that got stuck (lots of us still stuck back in SouthAfrica since 2012) cos no more money to fly after already spending millions of family and personal savings.

After the flying comes the job hunting. Are you not checking the papers? Hundreds of Type rated dudes (Nigerians) got no job and you wanna join the statistics?
Had I known, the money I spent on flying in SA would had gotten me a good Engineering degree in that same South Africa and a sound job also there. Then maybe I'll buy my own C150 someday.

Look twice and think twice before you leap, cos once you son enter, you don't enter, cos you already spent a big chunk in training for PPL.

From PPL to hour building to CPL, to another hour building and multi and type rating.
It never ends, and you keep spending to get that first job, and that is if you get it before all your money runs out.
Have a university degree before going off to train.

Lastly is the connection.
If you knows someone that knows someone that knows the Chief pilot of any company, you got a leg into the door.

Aviation is for the tough minded and stupid, cos now I can't imagine spending N15million to fly people around and get paid for the flying.
Igbo boys are making more with that at Alaba and Onitsha Main market.

It's a life mistake that'll haunt me forever.
Be forewarned.
Aviation used to be good when companies trains their own pilots, now its bonkers.
Good luck dreamers, for to dream, is to fly.
I'm DreamFlyin.

You are 100% right aviator! Aviation isnt meant for the poor neither is it meant for the feeble minded. Job hunting separate the boys from the men. The job is all about connection,I mean real connection.

Sky is still my office

South Africa or Florida is the best for this gig in my opinion,cheaper and better in those places.

Pilot was my first job preference,but too expensive over here €104k.you won't be allowed to fly here if you didn't study here or in the eu,however few went to S/a or Florida and then had a conversion.

Am still thinking of going to S/A for it.I probably will hop for helicopter.maybe some day.#itbetterbesoon.

Thanks op for waking up the sleeping dream in me.

naruto02:
I'm hoping to join Emirates but it depends how things go in future. I was going to keep tabs on emirate sending them email time to time to inform them on my progress and decision taking since I'm coming to look for a job with them so if they agree to give me tips and advice I'm sure everything will go smoothly. After the instructor course at PEA am expecting to get a job as a paid flight instructor but I'm not sure that'll happen because I didnt do ab-initio to cpl with them but I can get a job as a non paid flight instructor to gain flight hours. After that I want to do the ATPL and jet type rating I don't know which one comes first. Pls are u a pilot now? I need tips

We’re biased, but we really do love flying! That’s why we’re inviting YOU, one of the fearless few to join the industry. Here are a few reasons why you should become a commercial pilot:

AN ELITE CLUB: Be part of a select few who can operate aircraft worth millions of dollars and be responsible for the safety and well-being of hundreds of people.

PRESTIGIOUS: People look up to and respect airline pilots; it’s a career you and your family can be proud of.

GREAT PAY: Commercial pilot, especially captains earn above-average salaries and receive many fringe benefits.

HUGE DEMAND: The world needs half a million new pilots in the next two decades. Analysts believe that airlines, cargo and charter companies will continue to need thousands of pilots in the next 10 years. Retirements and new aircraft orders are fueling demand. Are you going to be one of them?

TRAVEL PERKS: How would you like to begin the day in one country and end it in another? You get paid to travel and a great seat up-front is always reserved for you! Again, Free travel for employees and their immediate families

ADRENALIN RUSH: Flying is an exhilarating experience, especially with you at the helm! It requires you to be at your best, every single flight.

NEVER BORING: There’s always something to do even in the most routine flight. “Stay ahead of the plane” is something your instructors will instill during training. Beats a desk job, right?

OPPORTUNITY FOR ADVANCEMENT: The more you fly, the more you qualify. Lots of room for improvement and promotions when you reach certain milestones.

SUPER CHALLENGING: This field is for people like you who crave challenges. There will be obstacles, set-backs, and failures. But it doesn’t matter because you LOVE it!

BECAUSE IT’S YOUR DREAM: Stop day dreaming and get to it!
