Air Traffic Controller or Commercial Pilot?? (in India)?

Question

Air Traffic Controller or Commercial Pilot??...which one is better???....whts the salary for a Commercial Pilot n ATC in India???..plzz help me guys....

Answer 1

Being a commercial pilots is better, and if you get to Captain status with a big airline, its good money!

However, air traffic control is much easier and cheaper to get into, but the pay as an air traffic controller would not be as high.

Also, remmeber that there is an increasing pilot shortage in India, so yeah I say definitely head towards being a commercial pilot. Its better flying than sitting in a chair having to direct the pilots that are havign fun doing the flying :P.

Answer 2

Sitting in a darkened room, staring at airplane radar targets on a screen and repeating the same instructions over and over and over again, does not strike me as interesting.

Easy choice.

Answer 3

Two fields that require completely different aptitudes.  First figure out which of the two better fits your personality type and then choose the appropriate field.  Not all pilots can work for Air Traffic Controller (ATC) and not all ATC's can become pilots.

Pilots in general make a higher salary "if" they begin flying for a major airline as captain.
