Question
hi..my name is lydia..i`m from IRELAND..Im 13..really want to be a pilot when i grow up..just wondering is the pay good..??

Answer
Hi Lydia,

For commercial pilots, pay starts off at £30,000 as a 1st Officer and goes up to £80,000 as a Captain. Not as good as the +£100,000 that used to be paid but depending on the airline, there are perks to the job.

I have a website that tells all about becoming a pilot, from PPL to how to become a commercial pilot. As you're 13, you can actually start flying now and get your PPL licence when you're 16.

Have a look at www.justplanecrazy.co.uk

If there are any other questions feel free to ask.

Best of luck!!!
