I plan to be a Boeing 777-200 pilot for Delta. When I go to college and take the courses they offer for their aviation major, thats another $40,000 or so in addition to the $15,000 tuition (which isn't bad). I'm planning to get my Private Pilot Certificate and Instrument rating at the Mizzu Aviation school in Joplin in the summer I turn 17 (17 is the minimum age for getting a Private Pilot Certificate) and spend a week or two there and get my flight hours and course work done, since getting those two there are considerably cheaper than the same courses at the University of Central Missouri (so I save about $12,000). I don't like budget airlines anymore (they've reduced my future salary considerably ) Southwest is an OK airline though, since it's cheap, good, and probably one of the most I fly on nationally. My favorite airline has got to be Singapore though; best and most flown airline of the ones I've been on.
