BECOMING AN AIRLINE PILOT

This series of videos has been created to promote an airline pilot career. In this series a former 2FLY Pro-Pilot student and recent graduate Jonathan Western takes us on a journey as he realises his dream to become a professional pilot.

Find out how Jonathan went from a typical young aspiring aviator to flying the Boeing 737 for a major European airline.

In this first video Jonathan tells us his own story and, in particular, how coming  from a family of aviators he felt destined to become a pilot too.

PART II: THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY. PILOT DEMAND.

The existence of a pilot shortage appears compelling when you research it. Does it guarantee you a job at the end of training? Jonathan looks at the evidence and explains why he drew the conclusions he did.
