Question
To become a comersial pilot do I have to finish my grade 12 or could I just go to a flying school? Do the airlines normaly require a grade 12? I need all the advice I can get please help!
Are there places were they give schollarshipsb in Australia?
Thank you for all the help and taking time to read my email!  

Answer
To become commercial pilot with any airline it is recommended that you have an college education, however for Australia I am not sure could be a exception in some cases.
After you complete your high school you can go and start with some nice flying school. But the best way in your case is try to get scholarship from Quantas or even be accepted as an cadet and flight student with Quantas flight academy. In that case they will train you and after completation you will have job right a way after completation of your training. Again I am not sure but that is what I hear from some people from Australia.
