Answer
Hi,

Firstly, to become a pilot it is neccessary to offer your gratitude to those that help you; for example, say thank you in advance for your time and help! Otherwise people will not bother to help you.

2. Scholarships do not exist any more as airlines cut costs therefore you have to pay for it all.

3. Costs about £60,000 to 80,000 for all the training
