Why Aviation?
A better career. A better life.
Commercial Airline Pilots Are in High Demand
It’s estimated that there will be over 600,000 job openings over the next 20 years, making aviation one of the fastest growing careers in the world. However, the reasons for starting a career in aviation go far beyond that!
Launch A Career That’s High Paying, Prestigious, and Exciting
When most pilots are asked why they started their career in aviation, their answer is a quick and simple one. They wanted a career that was high paying, prestigious, and exciting. Those reasons are excellent, but the truth is they just scratch the surface for why pilots love what they do. If you sit down with an experienced pilot for a little longer, you will start to hear about the real reasons they started their careers.
At AeroGuard, we have successfully graduated over 6,000 pilots since 1999. Working with thousands of pilots, we have heard all the real reasons why so many people love their career in aviation.
Why Being a Pilot is My Dream Career?
Experience the World
As an airline pilot, you are on the go. Working as an airline pilot can be your gateway to experiencing the world, not only as you sit in the pilots seat, but through the extensive travel benefits offered by commercial airlines. Most importantly, because pilots are needed everywhere, you can work anywhere. Your life is truly in your control.
Create Unforgettable Memories
For most pilots, their clearest memory is of their first solo flight. They remember sitting in the pilot’s seat and pulling back on the throttle, the single-engine of the Piper Archer roaring to life. They remember what it felt like as they hurtled down the runway to take off. They remember the airport, flying, on their own, for the very first time.
