By now many people in developed countries like America have been on a plane. Some of the larger commercial airlines can hold a couple hundred people, and the pilot of the plane is responsible for all those lives. But the fact remains that air travel is now extremely safe and you are far more likely to die on the roads than up in the air. For Rob Bitzer (experienced airline pilot), being a pilot is a highly satisfying career and a rewarding one too. Getting to fly modern planes on a daily basis allows one to keep in touch with their interest of planes, and get paid for it at the same time. However, being a pilot isn’t always easy, and there is no cheat you can use to boost your way to the top – you’ll need to put in the study and learn a lot before you are really capable of flying a plane.
