Obviously airlines have mainly retired the 747’s, how long until cargo companies start retiring theirs. From what I can tell most cargo companies show no sign of retiring them soon.
How long do you think until cargo companies start to get rid of them?
Do you reckon they will still be commonly used in 2040/50?
I am particularly intrigued about those who have recently been hired for their first commercial job.
From what I can gather on line, it seems as if all bush flying work is concentrated in USA or Africa, I was curious as to whether there is a decent bush flying scene here ( in terms of paid work). As well as who the main employers are.
Would love to hear from anyone who knows how to enter this career path, and those which European STOL/ Remote flying work.
I don’t mind working in the usa although if it’s like the airlines, I won’t have right to live there :(
Thanks
Respectfully I don’t want to hear Jack Wolfe or Reeve Carney or Jordan Fisher.
For context I am:
a native English speaker
A2 level Spanish- I have only learnt that at school
Trying to learn Norwegian for fun/ future work
How would you recommend learning a new language entirely from scratch ( I didn’t even know how to say hi in Norwegian until this week).
I am currently using DuoIingo, which is alright however I am aware of dozens of people who have used it and still aren’t very good.
I am so used to just being taught Spanish by my teacher that I have completely forgotten how to learn from scratch.
Norwegian also feels way more overwhelming than Spanish.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately classes or cultural immersion aren’t really a prospect for me right now.
I never thought I would be obsessed with a certain characters ‘Wait For Me’ but Jose Contreras “Im coming wait for me…….It sounds like drumming” genuinely was so good.
Can someone please echo my enthusiasm for his voice. I think that Jack Wolfe was really good but seriously jose is insane and I don’t get why there isn’t more ardent fanboys for Jose like Jack has. It was like he was rising to heaven whilst on stage.
Does anyone else have any simmilar experiences with Jose, or am I missing something?
I have grown up in England, but have right to live in any eu country.
I am looking to become an airline pilot at pretty much any company ( paying well and good QOL) in Europe and Middle East.
Which licence type would recommend. I am more keen on the EASA schools as they are more budget friendly but I’m also conscious that it would limit me from working for British carriers on future. (or would it?)
I have researched the conversion, and it seems like a relatively uncommon path to take.
Any advice on schools or becoming a pilot would be hugely appreciated.
