How Do I Become an Airline Transport Pilot?

With the rapid development of China's civil aviation industry, fierce conflicts caused by pilot job-hopping have become commonplace in recent years. The training model of airlines' heavily commissioned pilots serving for life has gradually become the source of conflict between airlines and job-hopping pilots. Civil aviation industry professionals said that the emergence of self-funded pilots meant that the marketization of pilot training in China began.

China's civil aviation is developing at a high speed, and the average annual growth rate is more than twice that of the world's civil aviation.

In 2002, Yang Yuanyuan, director of the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China, proposed China's development goal of transforming from a major civil aviation country to a strong civil aviation country. In 2005, the Civil Aviation Administration of China proposed to build a modern, new-generation air transport system. Yu Renlu said that the rapid development of civil aviation

2 million for a pilot

"It takes at least 2 million + 10 years to train a standard pilot." Fang Zhijun, head of the human resources department of Sichuan Airlines said that this is only the approximate cost of training a pilot. Others such as pilots in foreign aircraft manufacturing companies (

10,000 pilots in five years

On the one hand, pilot training is costly, on the other hand, with the rapid development of China's civil aviation industry, pilots have been in short supply in recent years, which has become a bottleneck restricting the development of China's civil aviation. The "digging" war among major airlines has become increasingly serious, exposing the reality of the shortage of pilots in China. "The total number of pilots in China's civil aviation is around 10,000. It is expected that the gap in domestic pilots will be around 10,000 in the next five years."

The emergence of market-oriented training mechanism

In order to solve the problem of shortage of pilots, Sichuan Airlines announced on the 3rd of this month that it will recruit the first batch of 50 self-financed pilots. All young men who meet the qualifications of college education, physical and age can apply. After passing the Sichuan Airlines selection exam, after paying 250,000 yuan in tuition, receiving 2 years of theoretical study and 1 year of flight training, he will be expected to become an official pilot and be assigned to work at various flight bases of Sichuan Airlines. After strict

Si Xianmin, general manager of China Southern Airlines Co., Ltd., said that training and mobility of foreign pilots have long been fully market-oriented. Pilots in Europe, the United States, Brazil and other countries basically spend their own money on flying schools, and airlines do not have to pay for them. Pilots are free to come and go to work in airlines. Yu Renlu said that in order to alleviate the contradiction between mainland pilots, the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China has increased its support for flight academies on the one hand, so that the old model can cultivate more talents; on the other hand, it has innovative mechanisms to encourage all parties to participate in pilot training , Establish a new market-oriented talent training model.

China Southern Airlines is the airline with the largest annual passenger traffic and the longest record of safe flight in China. China Southern Airlines recruiting 100 self-funded flight students this time is an exploration of a market-oriented model. According to this model, students can obtain a driving license to work in 2 years, but do not have a college diploma. Moreover, this model can raise more funds and invest in the training of pilots, alleviating the contradiction of the shortage of pilot training funds. Yu Renlu hopes to explore a new way to quickly train pilots while ensuring the quality of pilot training.
